BEFORE READING: Have the young reader
read the list of possible hard words. Provide help as needed,
but keep track of how many items require your assistance.

him or her read the article aloud to you. If seven or more
are problems, you volunteer to read the article aloud. In
all three instances point out questions will be raised after
