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)

Stretch the ending. Say the word slowly and loudly on the ending part: "c-AT, h-AT." Then have the student echo only the ending: "at, at." Same ending means rhyme.
