During Reading
Student Reading
Hand out the books and instruct children to read quietly or silently at their own pace. Because the book may be a bit long for some readers, you may choose to have them read to a certain page. You can also divide the children into four groups based on the chapters. (The third chapter is the longest.) Have each group come up and read aloud with you in the order of the chapters. The "After Reading" questions are organized by chapter. You can choose to use them with each small group or with the entire group as they finish the story.
Think Aloud
Use the questions in the reading strategies with children as they read their stories to each other.
Using the Worksheet
As children complete the story, you may want to suggest they work on the worksheets. This will give you a chance to work with individuals and you can use the worksheets to check understanding of the children’s reading.
