Coach: look at the exit check results and the paper practice. Go back over every item a student missed: read it together, have the student explain their thinking, then show the correct thinking. Use the reteach routine below for anyone who missed two or more. Students who got everything right take the stretch task.

🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Use picture cards. Sketch three or four quick pictures from the story on sticky notes, mix them up, and have the student put them in order before saying the retell.

Give sentence starters on the table: "First, ___. Next, ___. Then, ___. Last, ___."

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)
