BEFORE READING:
There are an unusually large number of proper names in this
article. Have the young reader read the list above while you
help out with any difficult names or words. If the young reader
needs help with three or fewer terms, ask him or her to read
the article silently. If you have to help with four to seven
terms, suggest that the young reader read the article aloud
to you. If eight or more terms cause difficulty, you offer
to read the article aloud. In all cases, note that questions
will be raised after the reading.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer to help with any words if asked.
For the child reading aloud, supply troublesome words fairly
quickly when needed to keep the reading fluent. If you read
aloud, model fluent and expressive oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use question such as the following to check comprehension
and encourage discussion of the article.
- What does
it mean to say Tony is continuing both a family and a rink
tradition?
- How did the
girls who play hockey start out as skaters?
- What was Ryan
Reel's role on the hockey team?
- What does
"screening" mean in hockey?
- How much are
you into hockey? Would you like to be more involved? Why
or why not?
