Pull these students first
Surface readers: they missed the jar's meaning
Their notes stayed on plot events (catching bugs, going to bed) and never reached why the jar matters. If they draft from these notes, there is nothing to explain. Reread paragraph 2 with them and ask what the empty jar shows.

Close, but stopped short
8 literal readers caught the events, missed the shift
They tracked the story accurately but did not notice the jar changes meaning from full to empty. One question in a small group usually gets them there.

Reading depth across the class
Where each reader landed
Deep readers (10): Aiden L., Sofia A., Emma R., Mia N., Grace O., Isabella F., Aaliyah J., Noah B., Chloe D., and Owen P. reached the jar's meaning on their own. Pair a few of them with the surface group for the reread.

The reading was the gate. Move the 6 surface readers up one level and most of them cross into the on-track band before drafting.
