BEFORE READING:
There are twenty items on the possible hard words list. Ask
the young reader to read the list and you offer help where
needed. If no more than three items cause difficulty, ask
the child to read the article silently. If four to six items
are missed, ask the child to read the article aloud. If seven
or more words are missed, you offer to read the article aloud.
Make known that questions will be asked in all three cases
after the reading.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer help with words only if asked.
For the one reading aloud, offer help where needed to keep
the reading fluent. Where you read aloud, model fluent and
expressive oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as those that follow to check comprehension
and promote discussion.
- What did the
music teacher want for the kids he sent to music summer
camp?
- How much practice
did the kids get at the music camp?
- Where did
the kids sleep when at the summer music camp?
- How could
attendance at camp possibly save the kids' parents money
later on if the kids wanted to go to college?
