How the lesson starts: Check and Fix While Reading

1. Detective Tuli

   Meet Detective Tuli, a turtle with a magnifying glass. Tuli reads slowly and carefully. She always asks one question. Does it make sense?

2. Look-alike words

   Ball, tall, call. These words look almost the same! Only the first letter changes. So Tuli can't just look. She must read the whole sentence to check.

3. Tuli tries each word

   The dog chased the, blank. Tuli tries each word. The dog chased the tall? No sense! The dog chased the call? Silly! The dog chased the ball. That makes sense!
