By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Apply at least two self-correction strategies (rereading, sounding out, reading on, and then coming back) to decode and understand unfamiliar or misread words.
Reread a sentence or phrase correctly after making a mistake, showing awareness of the correct meaning.
Answer simple questions about a short text after successfully self-correcting during group and pair reading.
