Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity uses a short, age-appropriate passage to practice reading fluency and comprehension. The reading fluency recording gives teachers a chance to hear students read with expression and correct pacing. Use the comprehension pages to check literal and inferential understanding. Minimal prep is needed—just a device for recording and a quiet place to read. For the open-ended paragraph question, look for answers that describe feelings or actions from the story, mention details (Mira, Leo, duck, picking up trash), and show reasoning (why the characters felt calm). A high-quality multimedia response shows clear connection to the story (for example, a picture or short video of a calm lake or a student explaining why cleaning up helps). Mark open-ended responses as correct when the student accurately references the story and explains their thinking; mark incorrect when the response does not relate to the passage or shows misunderstanding of key events.
