Description:
All elementary teachers face the challenge of teaching young children the individual components of reading. Getting students to put these components together so they can read and understand text is an even tougher challenge! "First-Rate Reading: Literature-Based Activities that support Research-Based Instruction" gives students additional opportunities to:
. Recognize the sounds that make up words
. Decode text
. Understand the meanings of new words
. Read aloud with fluency
. Comprehend the author's message
With activities based on carefully chosen childhood favorites, teachers can use authentic teaching experiences to teach these skills. In addition to achieving success in reading, children will be motivated to become lifelong readers.
