This article is fairly easy with few “hard” words

list of possible hard words while you provide any help that
might be needed. Then ask the reader to read the article aloud
to you and be ready to discuss it afterward.

Should any words or names seem to be stumping the reader,
supply the pronunciation fairly quickly in order to keep the
reading fluent.

Use questions such as the following to check comprehension
and promote a discussion of the article.

a big month for the Mathews kids?

kids into competing in track events?

“silver lining” in this year’s losing
at the state level tournament?
