7. Elaboration on chapter 10 of Reading Essentials by Dr.
Semingson
Routman text, 2003
Chapters 10
Key ideas [selected by Dr. S.]
“[M]eeting with a group once a week…is not enough…s” (p. 156)
“…spend most of reading time reading” (p. 160)
Teacher talk for guided reading (p. 169)
Questions on bottom of p. 167 are great to consider for the teacher
for every guided reading lesson.
Let’s revisit pages 170-171; what stands out? How does this connect to
what you know about guided reading?
8. Demonstration/Modeling by Dr. S.
Demonstration of previewing and introducing a text by Dr.
Semingson with several children’s literature texts…. *Fountas and
Pinnell (2006) is a great resource for more on introductions.
What stood out?
What do you do that is the same? What do you do that is different?
What advice do you have for book introductions? (can be used in read-
aloud, shared reading, and guided reading).
10. Sharing of yourself as a reader and writer; share your own work
from your own childhood, if possible!
“If you like the
book, it will like you
back”.
“I like this book.”
“I like this dog.”
--Dr. Semingson,
back of homemade
book, age 8.
11. Sharing of yourself as a reader and writer; share your own work
from your own childhood, if possible!
“You are a book.”—former
third grade student
Students notice the power of
your modeling whether it is your
current writing or your sharing
from your own literacy life as a
child.
Consider:
What can you share with them
from your past?
What can you share with them
from your present?
What goals are you working on
with reading and writing that
you can share?

Introduction
connect today’s
lesson to previous
lessons
give a purpose for
today’s lesson
“Students, you remember that we have been studying the sounds of the alphabet letters. Today
we will learn how to blend the letter sounds together to read words. Learning to blend letter
sounds together is the first big step in learning to read most of the words you’ll see.”
Explicit Teacher
Explanation and
Demonstration
1. Write the word mat on the whiteboard.
2. Point to each letter and make its sound.
3. Blend the three sounds together slowly, then pronounce the word. Sweep your hand below the
letters as you blend the sounds slowly, then tap below the word as you pronounce it.
4. Repeat this blending process with several other short-a CVC words until you feel that the

3. Repeat this process with more short-a CVC words until you feel that the students are beginning
to understand the blending process well.
