Case: Low readers
I am wanting to start an after school program to help struggling readers. How do you suggest to approach the instructional aspect of this program? Meaning, what skills are essential for struggling readers?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I work with struggling readers daily. Depending on how many teachers and kids, I recommend grouping students according to their level (low, lower, lowest)in small groups (4-5). The smaller groups allows more one-on-one direction and less distraction for the students. Students who are low readers are usually very bored in bigger groups and they often are overlooked by the students that always answer all the questions.
When in groups, I always start off having students picture read a book. Then I have them close their books and ask them questions that they have to infer. If you allow students to feel like they are giving correct answers and their explanations are valued, they will feel more confident when learning to read.
Next, I introduce any new vocabulary found in the book. I have students sound out the words with me and then I continue to refer back to the word. Then, we read the book together with me reading and students echoing (repeating). After reading, I ask comprehension questions about the story or ask what they learned and what they think about the book. Again, when a student is praised for their answers they will be motivated to continue to participate.
Because these students are struggling readers, I only like to read through the book one time on the first day. I always play a game at the end of the group that pertains to the book. For example, if the story is about animals on a farm, then I would have students match the vocabulary words, such as pig, cow, goat, with the appropriate picture.
