Reading Level & Decodability Notes

Clues are constructed using Grade 1 high-frequency Dolch/Fry words and simple CVC/CCVC decodables:

  • • Sight Words Used: we, walk, over, look, down, first, girl, live, ride, too, stop, very, hard, kind, give, two, all.
  • • Phonics Features: Short vowels (hill, rocks, men, camp, cut), vowel teams (snow, wait, tree, meet, blue), and simple blends (splash, clear).
  • • Pre-teaching Words: Introduce canoe, river, mountain, and prairie before students begin independent reading.

Classroom Implementation Tips

  • • Pair & Share Map Partners: Have one student read the clue aloud while the partner uses a finger to track the red dotted trail on Page 1.
  • • Color Coded Pencils: Encourage students to color each clue box the matching color of the site number badge on the map.
  • • Kinesthetic Tracing: Before drawing symbols, guide students to trace the path with their index finger from Site 1 (Lemhi Pass) all the way to Site 10 (Lewiston).
  • • Indigenous Peoples Connection: Highlight the pivotal role of the Shoshone and Nez Perce nations, without whom the expedition would not have survived.
