Plans for small reading lessons

When I told my teacher about my small reading lessons, she wanted me to focus on students who were excelling as opposed to students who were struggling.  She told me that this group of 4 students are really at a second grade reading level (after testing) and don't really get much practice reading at that level because the rest of the class cannot read that high.  She asked me to do a reading group with 2 students to work on reading fluency with a second grade level book and another group of 2 focusing on comprehension of a second grade level book.

My mentor teacher took me to the school's book room which is a huge (and awesome) room full of books separated by reading level (second grade is a reading level 2) and told me to just pick out 2 sets of books that I wanted to work on with my students.  I decided on a book called Rosie's House for fluency and The Big, Bad Cook for comprehension.  Both of the stories seemed really cute and looked like they would be entertaining for my Kindergartners so that is why I picked them.

For my comprehension lesson I plan on having my 2 students read the book alternating pages.  I will have them read the story that way and then after they are done reading we are going to talk about the beginning, middle, and end of the story and discuss the different aspects of those three parts.  I might ask them some questions about the details of what happened during those different points in the story.  

For my fluency lesson I am going to model reading to my students two different ways, the first way I will read the story normally focusing on punctuations marks and emotion in my voice then I will read the same page in a robot monotone voice.  I will ask my students which one they liked listening to best and what was the difference between them.  I will talk to them about how we need to focus on punctuation marks and how we use our voices in different ways, how we have to read not too fast and not too slow.  Then I will have my students alternate reading the book together, practicing their fluency while they are reading.  As we are going, I will make corrections if my students need it while reading.  After we will talk about how they read!
