BEFORE READING: Have the young reader read the list of possible hard words. Provide help with pronunciations, but keep track of how many items require your help. If no more than three are problems, have the child read the article silently. If four to six are problems, ask the child to read the article aloud to you. If seven or more are problems, you volunteer to read the article aloud. In each of these examples, point out questions will be asked after the reading.
