“We believe that there is no single method or single combination of methods that can successfully teach all children to read. As a result, teachers must be familiar with a wide range of instructional methods and have strong knowledge of the children in their classrooms in order to provide the most appropriate instruction for all learners (IRA, 2007).”

17. Click or Clunk
Students pair up and take turns reading an assigned text to each other.
After each section of reading, they say “click” if they understand what was read and “clunk” if they don’t.
Any “clunks” need to be discussed and clarified before moving on to a new passage.

18. Genre Gurus
Students participate in discussion groups based on genre not book, Ex: 5 students have read different fairy tales
How did each book fit into the genre?
How are the books alike?
How are the books different?
What did we learn about fairy
tales by reading these books?
Students can create a visual/
poster or presentation to share

19. Mastery Goal Pursuit
Cubing (for narrative text with expository text variation)
50 Literacy Strategies: Step-by-step, by Gail Tompkins, Prentice Hall 2008
Story Grammar for narrative text, Ex: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Expository text: focus on text structures, Ex: The Statue of Liberty

20. Mastery Goal Pursuit KABLOOIE (variation of BANG),
Using the 5 pillars of reading:
Phonemic awareness
Phonics
Fluency
Vocabulary
Comprehension

21. Concluding Thought:
