2. Content-

|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. The student will read fiction and nonfiction using a variety
of strategies independently.
2. Read stories, poems, and passages with fluency and expression.
3. Re-read and self-correct when necessary. |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1. Given 3 repeated readings at their independent level students
will read 82 words per minute on 2 out of 3 passages. |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
Books borrowed from the library on a variety of topics for the students
to choose from. |
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. Ask the students what an adult sounds like when they read something
aloud.
2. Lead the students to recognize that an adult pays attention to
all punctuation, pauses at the end of sentences, doesn't hesitate
reading words, etc.
3. Ask the students how they think adults are able to read like that?
(practice)
4. Explain to the students that they will practice readings books
of their choice (in their instructional level) so they can begin sounding
like an adult when they read. |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Allow the students to choose a book they would like to practice
reading.
2. Read this book allowed to the students.
3. After reading, discuss the attributes of fluent reading again (punctuation,
pauses, not hesitating, etc.) |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Allow the students time to read the book silently. This will
allow the student time to get familiar with the story.
2. Have the students read the stories aloud in pairs. (Pair students
together that are of different skill level)
3. Assist the students when needed. (Sounding out words, pointing
out punctuation, etc.) |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. Have the student read the story aloud without any assistance.
2. While doing this, time the students for one minute.
3. Have the students keep reading until there is an evident increase
in the words per minute count.
4. Evaluation will occur throughout the lesson. |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Accommodations come in the assistance the students get from the
teacher. The teacher can read the story aloud with the students more
than once to demonstrate fluency. Students with learning disabilities
may also benefit from breaks between readings. |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Have the students repeatedly read the passage until the goal criteria
is met.
|
|
|
G. Closure-
Have students return books and ask the class to share their stories
with the class. |
|
|
7. Evaluation-
|
Chart words read per minute on worksheets for students to fill out
each time we do this activity so they can be motivated and also see
their improvement. |
