  Case: Reading ahead
Mr. Walter recommends all of his U.S. History students to read the sections that they will be learning the day before. He sees that all of his students that read ahead score significantly higher than his students that don't read. What can he do to get all of his students to read ahead?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Walter should create a close reading handout that he can send home with the students to fill in blanks. He should use these handouts as an opening for the class so that the students see their need to have it complete before class. If he cannot make the handout, he could also have the students create a few questions from the reading ...use question stems to help. When they bring in the questions, they could use those questions as a small group review the next day.
