BEFORE READING: Have the young reader
read the list of names and words. Provide help as needed,
but keep track of how many times help is provided. If no more
than three items require your help, ask the young reader to
read the article silently. If four to six items require help,
have the child read the article aloud to you. If seven or
more items are problems, you offer to read the article aloud.
Note that questions will be raised in all three of the cases.
DURING READING: For the silent reader,
offer to supply help if asked. For the one reading aloud,
supply words fairly promptly in order to keep the reading
fluent. If you read aloud, model fluent oral reading.
AFTER READING: Use questions such as
the following to check comprehension and stimulate discussion
of the article.
