BEFORE READING:
Have the young reader read the items from the list of possible
hard words. Provide help where needed. There are over twenty
items on the list. If no more than four cause a problem, ask
the child to read the article silently. If five to eight words
cause problems, suggest the child read the article aloud to
you. If nine or more terms cause problems, you offer to read
the article aloud. In all instances indicate questions will
be raised and the article will be discussed.
DURING READING:
For the child reading silently, note that help with any words
will be offered if asked. For the child reading aloud, provide
words fairly quickly when needed to keep the reading fluent.
If you are reading aloud to the child, model fluent, expressive
oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Questions such as these can be used to check comprehension
and stimulate discussion.
- Why will some
of the artwork be exhibited in Uzbekistan?
- How did the
East St. Louis kids show in their answers that world peace
is something that is close to home for them?
- What kind
of materials does Harvey use in his projects?
- Would you
like to create an art project using recycled materials?
Why or why not?
