BEFORE READING:
Have the young reader read the list of possible hard words.
Help out as needed. If no more than three items call for help,
ask the child to read the article aloud. If four to six require
help, suggest that the child read the article aloud to you.
If seven or more items cause a problem, you offer to read
the article aloud. Point out that questions will be raised
after reading.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer help with words if asked for
help. For the child reading aloud, supply words fairly promptly
in order to keep the reading fluent. If you read the article
aloud, model fluent oral reading.
AFTER READING:
To check for comprehension and promote discussion, raise questions
such as the following.
- What are some
of her activities and recognition that Tori has received?
- Why did she
have to cut down on some of her sports that she played?
- What does
Tori want to study in college and what does she want to
do with that education?
- Why is Washington
University a good choice for a college for Tori?
