INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

 Scaffolding
 Recasts for grammar development
 Increased wait time for student responses
 Slower teacher speech for comprehension

 RUNNERS Reading Comprehension Model – Read the title and make predictions about text,
Underline key words in questions, Number paragraphs, Now read, Engage in text – make
annotations, Reread questions, eliminate wrong answers, Select best answer

Resource books I use in planning instructional activities include: The Next Step Forward in Guided
Reading, Language Power, Letterland, Words Their Way, The Café Book, and The Daily Five.
