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)

Write the base word in the middle of a paper. Add one affix at a time on cards, reading the new word and saying whether its meaning or its job changed.

Use a part-of-speech key: -ness/-ion/-ment = noun, -ful/-less/-able = adjective, -ly = adverb.
