BEFORE READING: To assess how easy or how difficult a young reader may find this article, have him or her read the list of possible hard words. Help out with pronunciations of names and words but keep track of how many items require your help. If no more than three require help, have the young reader read the article silently. If four to six items require help, have him or her read the article aloud. If seven or more are problems, you offer to read the article aloud. In all three instances point out questions will be asked afterwards.

DURING READING: For the silent reader simply offer to help with words if asked for help. For the one reading aloud, supply promptly any names or words that are interfering with oral reading fluency. If you read aloud, model oral reading fluency.

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