Reading Information

The Six Keys
  • Make reading together enjoyable
  • Consider the reader's interests, experiences, and reading level
  • Introduce the book in a relaxed conversation
  • Encourage the reader with specific praise - example I liked how you went back to fix your mistake!
  • Help the reader maintain the meaning of the story
  • Read together on a consistent basis.
Ways Partners Can Support Readers
  • Wait... for the reader to try.
  • Praise... the reader for:
    • using pictures
    • using letter sounds
    • noticing mistakes
    • rereading
    • maintaining reading
    • reading smoothly with expression
  • Conversation... Talk to with the reader when:
    • He stops at a difficult word
      • Partner: Read it again and think what word makes sense
    • She makes an attempt which changes the meaning
      • Partner: What world makes sense there?
    • He makes an attempt which doesn't sound right
      • Partner: What word would sound better?
    • She makes an attempt which doesn't look like the word.
      • Partner: Does that look like the word you are saying?
  • Say..."Would (say the word) work there?' Or partner says the word
