BEFORE READING:
To discover how well the young reader can handle the vocabulary
in the article, have him or her read the list of names and
words. Offer help where needed. If no more than three terms
call for help, suggest the young reader read the article silently.
If four to six words cause problems, ask the young reader
to read the article aloud to you. If seven or more terms are
missed, you offer to read the article aloud. In all instances,
tell the child that questions will be raised afterward.
DURING READING:
For the child reading silently let him or her know that you
will provide help with words if asked. For the child reading
aloud, supply any words fairly quickly that seem to be impairing
fluency. If you are reading aloud, model fluent and expressive
oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use these or similar questions to promote discussion and check
for understanding.
- For how many
days and where were the art classes held?
- What class
most interested Cory? Why?
- What is origami?
- Can you explain
what "perspective" is?
- Do you consider
yourself an artist? Why or why not?
