Content Area Examples1. Literacy: Repeated reading can take place during the reading portion of literacy. The teacher would meet with one student at a time to accomplish this task. The teacher would follow along with the student as they read the passage. The student can either be timed, or not timed if checking how many words they can read in a minute. The student will then read through the passage eight times and throughout each time the teacher will complement the student on their reading, and correct their spelling errors. To help the student visualize their progress the teacher can make a graph with the student to help motivate them to do better. Lastly, to work on comprehension, the teacher can ask the student questions after the read the passage to see how well they are comprehending what they are reading.
2. History: The student will work on reading a history passage with a para. The student will read for a minute at a time to help determine how many words are being read per minute. The student will read the passage six-eight times. Once each passage is read through the para will correct any errors with the student and ask questions based upon what was read. This will help them become a more fluent reader, but also gain an understanding on the history they are learning. 3. Health: Students will be sent home a passage on the importance of exercise to be read with their a parent or guardian. The parent/guardian will receive instructions as to how they should read through the passage with their student. The student will read the passage aloud and the adult with correct any errors being made. This process will take place six times. At the end of the six times reading, the student will then summarize what the passage was about to the parent or guardian. 4. Science: With an adult, a student will read a passage on the water cycle. The student will read through the passage six times, and the adult will correct any errors/miscues after each passage is read. The student will then write about the water cycle and what they remember from the reading about the water cycle. *This strategy is helpful for all students including special education students. This would be especially helpful for those students that need that one-on-one work or those students that are struggling with their reading fluency. |
