BEFORE READING:
Have the young reader read the items from the list of possible
hard words. Provide help as needed with the items. If no more
than three require help, suggest that the young reader read
the article silently. If four to six items require help, suggest
that the young reader read the article aloud to you. If seven
or more items require help, you volunteer to read the article
aloud. In all three cases, note that questions will be raised
afterward.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, indicate that you will help out with
any terms if asked. For the child reading aloud, supply words
as needed to keep the reading reasonable fluent. If you read
aloud, model expressive, fluent oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions to check understanding and stimulate discussion.
Examples follow.
- What do you
need to have at home to get help with your homework from
the Pathfinder program?
- Besides a
computer, what else is required to be able to participate
in the program?
- What kinds
of chances are offered to get career experience in a given
field?
- How can Pathfinder
help a beginning high school student get ready for his or
her college program?
