will be raised afterward.

Supply any troublesome words fairly quickly in order to keep
the oral reading fluent.

Use questions such as the following to check comprehension
and stimulate a discussion of the article.
- How much better
were the 2003 fund drive results than the 2002 results?
- What kinds
of things did the kids do to promote the fund raising?
- Were the large
jars in the classrooms a significant part of the total funds
raised?
- What do you
think about kids taking responsibility for campaigns like
this one?
