Reading Instruction

Reading Instruction addresses two areas:

1. Fluency
Vocabulary Development
Word ID Strategies

2. Comprehension

Examples of context embeded sentences for building vocabulary in an instructional reading lesson:
  • Killing is a hateful act. (concept, ending/suffix, base, ate)
  • Jenny's looked in wonderment at all the candy. (base word, concept, ent)
  • The rainstorm had surprised Alisa. She didn't have an umbrella, so it left her drenched. (degree, concept, ench, ed, base word)
  • It was all Joe could think about, he was obsessed! (degree, concept, base word, ending, ess)
