BEFORE READING:
Have the young reader read the names and words from the list.
Offer help as needed. If no more than three require help,
suggest that the child read the article silently. If four
to six terms require help, ask the child to read the article
aloud. If seven or more require help, you volunteer to read
the article aloud. Tell the child that in each instance questions
will be asked afterward.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer help with any words if asked
for help. For the child reading aloud, provide words fairly
quickly as needed to keep the reading fluent. If you read
aloud, model smooth and fluent oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as the following to check comprehension
and stimulate discussion.
- What was the
contrast in the way the two girls, Gabriela and Nicole,
got their start in competitive tennis?
- What is Gabriela
hoping for as she gets older?
- What are both
girls hoping to become as they get older?
- Are you interested
in playing tennis or another sport? Are you willing to work
as hard at it as Gabriela or Nicole? Why or why not?
