BEFORE READING:
Have the young reader read all the names and words from the
list. Provide help where needed. If three or fewer cause a
problem, have the child read the article silently. If four
to six cause problems, have the child read the article aloud.
If seven or more are problems, you offer to read the article
aloud. Indicate questions will be raised afterward.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer to help out with any terms if
asked for assistance. For the oral reader, provide troublesome
words fairly quickly to keep the reading reasonably fluent.
If you read aloud, model fluent and expressive oral reading.
AFTER READING:
You can use questions such as these to stimulate discussion
and/or check understanding.
- What kinds
of help are provided to keep you warm and help you view
the birds on Eagle Days?
- Who gets an
advance look at the eagles before Eagle Days begins officially?
- What kinds
of activities go on in addition to just watching the eagles?
- Have you been
to see the eagles? Would you like to go see them? Why or
why not?
