BEFORE READING:
To asses how easily a young reader may read the article, have
him or her read the list of possible hard words. Provide help
as needed and keep track of the number of items that call
for help. It three or fewer items require your assistance,
ask the child to read the article silently. If four to six
items require your help, ask the child to read the article
aloud to you. If seven or more require help, you offer to
read the article aloud. In all three instances, point out
that questions will be asked afterward.
DURING READING:
For the child reading silently, offer to help with any words
if asked for help. For the child reading aloud, supply words
fairly quickly that seem to be impairing fluency. If you read
aloud, model fluent oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as those that follow to check for comprehension
and/or stimulate a discussion of the article.
- How is Anna
Kulik different from most kids in her middle school?
- What is the
message behind the competition?
- Why should
we recycle paper?
- Are you in
involved in any efforts to promote recycling? Explain.
