How can you ensure that your struggling readers have access to texts they can easily read?
An important factor to develop fluency is to practice reading with high success - 98% - 100% - and read with comprehension. Having a large variety of books gives access to students to books on their level. Struggling readers should be taught how to identify what type of book is just right for them. The books can be arranged in a library format. When children choose books they should be ones that they can read accurately and have background knowledge and experience with. The books can also be with texts that are connected to science and social studies lessons.
How can you foster a learning environment in which students have many opportunities to practice reading?
The way that students learn to read is when there is a nice balance of whole group reading, small group reading, and side by side instruction. A classroom that is focused on the whole group reading won't have high achievement. Every classroom needs guided reading and individual reading. side by side instruction is an effective way to deal with student's individual problems and help them overcome reading barriers that prevent them from growth in reading.
Describe ways in which you can model fluent reading in your classroom throughout the day.
The goal of reading is for children to be fluent readers so they can focus on comprehension. When teaching students to read, teachers must start by modeling "good reading". This can be done through a read aloud, reading groups, or during side by side instruction. As a teacher, I would do a "think aloud" after reading to point out specific reading strategies that I am using while I read. Modeling also shows students how to read with expression to show understanding of the text. Modeling the "wrong" way can engage students by having them point out what is wrong with the teachers reading. Aside from using modeling to teach reading with accuracy, I would use modeling to assess comprehension. When students hear something they are more likely to comprehend it. Modeling and asking comprehension questions is a step before student reading and comprehension assessment. Although modeling is very effective, it must be done in the appropriate manner and time. When students err teachers must be aware that they should not interrupt immediately. Rather allow the student to continue reading an see if they can self-correct themselves by noticing the context of the sentence. If the student comes to the end of the page without correcting themselves, the teacher can go back to the incorrectly read word.
