BEFORE READING: Have the young reader read the list of possible hard words. Provide help as needed, but keep count of the number of items requiring your assistance. If no more than three are troublesome, have the child read the article silently. If four to six items require help, ask the child to read the article aloud to you. If seven or more items require your help, you read the article aloud. In all instances, note that questions will be raised after the reading.
