During Reading

Model Reading
Consider reading the story aloud to children in order to model the proper intonation and fluency. You can stop periodically to discuss and reflect on what has been read, and to check for understanding. You should pause to ask questions to allow for reflection and to see what children understand from the text. You can talk about the pictures and the context clues to make sure they are following the text and the author's main ideas.

Student Reading
Hand out the books and instruct children to read quietly and aloud at their own pace. Children should point to each word as they read. It is also important for them to listen to themselves as they are reading to make sure that what they are saying makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, they should go back to the beginning of the page and read it again. They can also move over any words that they are having difficulty with to see if the next few words can help them.
