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 help. If three or fewer require your help, ask the young reader to read the article silently. If four to six items require help, have the young reader read the article aloud to you. If seven or more require help, you offer to read the article aloud. In all instances point out that questions will be raised afterward.

DURING READING: For the silent reader, simply offer to help with words if asked for help. For the one reading aloud, supply any words fairly promptly that seem to be impairing reading fluency. If you read aloud, model fluent oral reading.

AFTER READING: Use questions to assess comprehension and to stimulate discussion of the article.
