BEFORE READING: Have the young reader read the list of possible hard words. Help with pronunciations where help is needed. If no more than three items require help, ask the young reader to read the article silently. If four to six items require your help, ask the young reader to read the article aloud to you. If seven or more items require help, you volunteer to read the article aloud. Point out in each instance that questions will be raised afterward.

DURING READING: For the silent reader, simply point out that you will supply help for any names or words if asked for help. For the one reading aloud, supply any names or words fairly promptly that appear to be impairing oral reading fluency. If you read aloud, model fluent oral reading.

AFTER READING: Use questions such as the following to check comprehension and promote discussion of the article.
