BEFORE READING:
Have the young reader read the list of names and words. Help
out where needed. Since the list has mostly proper names and
otherwise the article appears fairly easy, ask the child to
read the article aloud to you and be ready to discuss it afterward.
DURING READING:
If there are words that require help, supply them quickly
in order to keep the oral reading fluent.
AFTER READING:
Use questions to check understanding and to promote a discussion
of the article. Examples follow.
- What was the
kids' reward for raising money for the park?
- How was most
of the money raised?
- In what kinds
of ways do these west county kids make use of Forest Park?
- What experience
have you had with Forest Park?
