DIRECTIONS: Slowly and clearly read each word in each set of three words. Have the student

slowly repeat the words in a set after you have read them. Have him or her identify the word

that has a different beginning sound. Place an X in the box at the right for each error he or she

makes. Practice with the first set of words.

PRACTICE: Say: I am going to read three words. Read: rattle, race, bottle. Say: Rattle and race begin

with the /r/ sound: /r/; rattle and /r/; race. Bottle begins with the /b/ sound: /b/; bottle. Bottle is the word

with a different beginning sound. Now it is your turn.

Assessment

DIRECTIONS: Tell the student that he or she is going to read some made-up words and that you will time

him or her. If the student does not read all the words in two minutes, stop the reading. Note the time

it takes if he or she reads all the words in less than two minutes. Demonstrate with the first word.

PRACTICE: Point to the word pim. Say: Look at this made-up word. Watch my finger as I read this word. I will sound

out each letter, then I will read the word. Point to each letter as you sound out the word. After sounding out the

letters, say the word while running your finger under it. Say: /p/ /i/ /m/; pim. Now it is your turn to sound out

and read the next word. See how many you can read in two minutes.

Steam Engines

Long ago, people used the power of animals to farm, travel, and move

goods from one place to another. The power of wind and water was

used to grind flour and saw wood. The invention of the steam engine

changed history by changing the way people lived, worked, and

traveled.The steam engine is a machine that uses steam from boiling water to

move parts. Steam engines get their power from burning coal, wood,

or oil. The first steam engine was invented in the early 1700s. It was used

to pump water out of mines. By the late 1700s, steam engines were

running machines in factories. These early steam engines were often

very large.Later, smaller steam engines were built that could power trains and

boats. The steam locomotive is still in use today in parts of the world.
