A look inside

Our world map

We look at a map of the world. North America has wide areas of land. An animal moves through a forest. Birds fly over it in the air. Things change as we travel around and far away.

Teacher-supported practice text. An adult reads untaught words; learners read taught targets and discuss the meaning. This is not a controlled decodable passage.

The complete lesson pairs this reading sample with teacher-led word practice, conversation, and a student response. Its printable materials include word cards for revisiting the same words and a separate answer key for the grown-up.

Use Glow Sight Words as a practice companion. The printable lesson also works away from a screen. Full teaching materials are included with a paid adult account.
