Supporting the Struggling Reader

"Struggling readers need more than effective short-term interventions; they also need effective reading instruction in their regular classroom programs" (Hiebert & Taylor 1994).

Children who are read to daily are found to be more successful in reading and literacy activities than those who do not, Dolores Durkin. Students need to know that reading is important and also they need to hear how you read fluently. Read Aloud are a wonderful way to incorporate reading to your class everyday. I place it into our Science and Social Studies themes. During the read aloud I demonstrate reading strategies through think alouds and questioning.
