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
