You can use any story(Read at Home) or select from a read aloud or a chapter book on http://southdublinlibraries.ie/chidrenszone/tumblebooks. Retelling using the questions- Who was the most important person and what was the most important thing they did. You can do a story map also to outline main events. Using Look, say, cover, write and check begin on your class spelling list and take 3 spellings per night from Monday to Thursday. If you are using a different spelling book use that spelling book and word list. Don’t forget to pretest yourself and post test.
