TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCEDURES Formalized
learning is a working partnership between a student and a teacher. When
students are motivated and confident in their ability to learn, nothing
can stop them from gaining knowledge. A typical Reading Champs guided reading lesson or mini-lesson consists of a Directed Reading Activity (DRA)—an activity which develops or reviews a specific skill. DRAs will generally be used to teach word recognition or comprehension. When using a DRA, it is important that the RC Reading Coach (reading teacher) use a consistent lesson format. Mini lessons should be planned to last from five to twenty minutes, generally focused on one concept at a time. At the end of each lesson, be sure to summarize what has been learned. If material is assigned for Independent Study, be sure to check that work (working with the student will be most effective) for accuracy. And, it is important to continually review (and re-teach if necessary) materials within the planning stage for other lessons. In this handbook we will be working with the details of planning and conducting a Reading Champs Instructional Plan. SHOW STUDENTS
