Reading: Provide each student with a simple, illustrated storybook and have them read aloud in small groups, focusing on identifying new vocabulary words in context. Organize a reading circle where students share a sentence from their favorite part of the story and explain why they chose it.

Guide students to construct a short story about a day in the life of a vehicle, using present tense continuous verbs to describe actions.
