Step 5

Reading

Student Workbook page 4 – Sentence List: oo

“Look at the first sentence. Put your finger under the first word in the sentence. Now read the sentence quietly in your head and look at me when you are finished and I will ask you a question.”

When the student looks up at you, you will ask the student a comprehension question. Then have the student go back and read the sentence aloud.

“Listen carefully as I say a sentence, and watch as I make a dash on the board for each word in the sentence.”  

I thought that was a foolish thing to do.

“Now, you say the sentence as you point to each dash. Now, you fill in each dash with each word from the sentence. Good. Now go back and read the sentence that you just wrote.”

Repeat the above with the following sentences, but this time in the student workbook instead of the whiteboard:

Step 9

Fluency Practice

Student Workbook page 179 – Fluency Practice 1 

Place a reading marker under the first row. Going across the row, have the student read each word as quickly as they can. Be cautious, as some students will become very anxious if they feel any time pressure. Never push for speed at the cost for accuracy. Accuracy is more important than speed. If the student will tolerate it, have the student do all 15 rows.
