but that they are not expected to be able to read what you write
because they are still learning all the rules for decoding. Emphasize
that you are writing what they say so that you don’t forget, and tell
them that you will read the words to them.

[You may need to prompt students with text from the first and last
sentences of the read-aloud. This is also a good opportunity to talk
about the conventions of beginning a fiction story, e.g., “Once a
farmer.. .” and ending a fiction story, e.g., “Do you know what he
found in the goose’s nest? Nothing.”]
