Successful Reading Practice
- 1. Successful Reading Practice For Struggling Readers in Elementary Grades
Editor's Notes
- ZPD=Zone of Proximal Development – the book-level range appropriate for reading ability. The book level should meet readability (book-level), interest level (grade appropriateness), and point value (length and difficulty) that is right for that particular student.
- TOPS = The Opportunity to Praise Students. Always go for a shorter book in that readability range before going for a book in a lower range.
- Listen to the student read – do they recognize their own mistakes then go back and fix them?
- If a teacher expects students to take tests on books that were read aloud to the class, the AR test should also be read aloud. This is more time-consuming for the teacher but many students can comprehend a higher-level book by listening than they can by reading independently.
- With struggling and/or emerging readers it may be more appropriate to set a weekly goal rather than a semester point goal. The teacher might ask for one Rookie Reader this week or one chapter this week.
- Incentives don’t need to be anything more than sitting in a bean bag chair for reading that day or sitting with the teacher at lunch.
- The goals do not have to be about points, especially for emergent and struggling readers. The goals could be pages read, books completed, tests passed (regardless of points), etc.
