INDEPENDENT READING WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?  The chance to “practice” the strategies they’ve learned through guided reading, shared reading, and read alouds  Students’ choice with some structure to make sure reading level is appropriate.  “At their reading level” means students should be able to read their selections with 98%-100% accuracy.  Choose books that don’t need teacher support

6. READ-ALOUDS WHY DO IT?  PROMOTES COMPREHENSION AND VOCABULARY  MODELS FLUENCY  SHOWS THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SPEECH AND PRINT  INTRODUCES DIFFERENT GENRES AND WRITING STYLES  INCREASES ATTENTION SPAN  HELPS ELLs BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SOUNDS AND SHAPES OF ENGLISH.
