BEFORE READING:
There are seventeen items in the list of possible hard words.
Ask the young reader to read the list and provide help where
needed. If three or fewer call for help, suggest that the
young reader read the article silently. If four to six items
cause problems, suggest that the young reader read the article
aloud to you. If seven or more items cause trouble, you volunteer
to read the article aloud. Note that questions will follow
afterward in all instances.
DURING READING:
For the silent reader, offer to help with any words if asked.
For the out loud reader, supply words fairly quickly where
called for to keep the reading fluent. If you read, try to
model fluent and expressive oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as these to check comprehension and promote
discussion.
- What are the
three top priorities in winter survival camping?
- What are some
important things to remember about water when trying to
survive in winter weather?
- Why build
you lean-to to face the Northeast?
- Have you ever
camped out in cold weather? Do you think you would like
to try it? Why or why not?
