ONE

Before
reading
The
"ERT"
or Everyone Read To... strategy encourages the students to really read
the book. See Guided Reading the Four Blocks Way book chapter 18
pages 169-173.
Some of the guidelines
found on page 173:
- Choose text for
which you think children need page by page guidance
- Plan a before and
after reading activity which will develop comprehension strategies.
- Lead the children
through the text a page or two at a time. Have students read to find
out or figure out important events or information.
- Include questions
to which the answers are not literally stated, but which can be inferred.
- Have the children
raise their hands when they read the part that helps them to figure
out the answer.
- When most hands
are up, ask a volunteer to give you the answer. Ask someone else to
read the parts aloud that helped them figure out the answer.
When the answers are
not literally stated, ask children to explain how they figured it out.
