BEFORE READING:
There are a number of unusual words in this article. In order
to obtain some idea of how easy or difficult a young reader
might find this article, have him or her read the list of
possible hard words. If no more than three items cause a problem,
have the young reader read the article silently. If four to
six are a problem, have him or her read the article aloud
to you. If as many as seven items are problems, you offer
to read the article aloud. In all three instances, point out
that questions will be raised after the reading.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer to help out with any words if
asked for help. For the child reading aloud, supply names
or words fairly quickly in order to insure fluency. If you
read aloud, model fluent and expressive oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as these to check understanding and promote
discussion of the article.
- Why did Lauren
Hammond's recipe end up as a dessert at a downtown restaurant?
- What does
Lauren mostly like to create and what tends to end up in
the recipe?
- What kind
of other things does Lauren do besides making up dessert
recipes?

hair salon figure in Lauren's plans?
