1.      How can you ensure that your struggling readers have access to texts they can easily read?

Set up a library in the classroom where students can read independently during free time. Ensure that it is stocked with high-interest, level appropriate books so students will be motivated in using it. Teach students how to recognize which books are a good level for them and encourage them to read from the library and to take books home for extra reading.

2.      How can you foster a learning environment in which students have many opportunities to practice reading?

·         Balance full class activities, group activities, independent reading, paired reading, and side-by-side teaching.

·         Every literature lesson should include independent reading time so students practice.

·         When going through a text with the class, go in order of the sits and have every student read a paragraph.

Then have students do a review assignment of the book which requires them to reread the book to find the answer. This can be done in partners.

3.      Describe ways in which you can model fluent reading in your classroom throughout the day.

·         Read aloud- model use of inflection, intonation etc.

·         Point out the usage of these tools in fluent reading.
