Reading Champs Common Sense Mini-lesson # 002
TITLE: Guided Reading; Directed Reading Activities
Catalog Index: CSML-002
Price (USD): $4.95

GUIDED READING:

DIRECTED READING ACTIVITIES (DRAs)

This time-tested instructional / learning guide is useful when you want to teach/learn an article, story chapter, or other textual materials at the instructional level. This means the student can read a selection orally having trouble with only one or two words out of twenty words with correct comprehension of three out of four questions.

With minor assistance, by the end of the DRA, the student should be able to recognize all words in the selection and understand the material completely. (Of course, the focus in this book is on the word study.)

This Reading Champs Mini-lesson deals, in depth, with the five steps in a DRA, which are:

  • Readiness
  • Guided silent reading
  • Discussion
  • “Independent” silent and/or oral reading
  • Follow-up
