A walking interview
We left the car and took a walk. Our feet move slowly; we do not run. I carry a notebook. I lift my head, use my eyes, and draw the shape of a face on a garden statue.
Teacher-supported practice text. An adult reads untaught words; learners read taught targets and discuss the meaning. This is not a controlled decodable passage.
