Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence.

Key fencing moves and positions used in a match (“En Garde” stance, lunge). How modern fencing tracks points and how respect is shown before and after matches. Learning Goals Students will describe what fencing looks like and where it takes place using details from the text. Students will explain how fencing safety gear protects a fencer during a match. Students will compare foil, épée, and sabre by describing how targets and scoring work. Students will identify and describe the “En Garde” stance and why it helps movement. Students will explain how a lunge helps a fencer reach an opponent to score a point. Students will describe how fencing shows respect before and after a match. Key Vocabulary From the Text strip — the long, narrow mat where fencers move. foil — a light, flexible sword used in fencing. épée — the heaviest fencing sword with the whole body as target. sabre — a fast sword that can score with tip or edge. lunge — a move stepping forward to reach an opponent.

Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: The Power of the Team Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: SEL / Physical Education / Reading Primary Topic: Teamwork skills that help teams succeed Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best Teamwork and shared goals: Teamwork happens when people work together to reach a common goal and play “for the whole group.” Communication in fast-paced play: Players use loud voices or hand signals to share information so everyone knows what to do next. Trust and cooperation through passing: Passing the ball (or puck) makes it harder for the other team to take it and shows teammates trust each other. Support and encouragement: Teammates help each other after mistakes and keep spirits high when things get difficult. Planning, practice, and coordination: Teams use strategy, practice together, and coordinate timing (like passing a relay baton) to perform smoothly.
