During Reading
Student Reading
After the introduction, give each child a book. Allow children to read at their own pace. When they come to difficult words, tell them to ask themselves questions to monitor their understanding. Ask: Does this passage make sense? Are there words that confuse me? Can I pronounce all the words? To help children predict what is coming next, encourage them to use Think Alouds as they read, for example on page 5: Clyde had a bad habit and he’s going to Farmer Brown’s farm to roll in manure. I wonder what else he is going to do? Will he chase the chicken, or will he just get dirty and smelly?
As children read, monitor their reading and provide prompts as necessary.
