Click and Clunk-A 5 Step Reading Strategy for Students

Beth Dichter's insight:

This one page infographic provides a five step reading stategy for students using super heroes to help them become enaged. The five steps are:

Step 1: Preview the text for two to three minutes.

Step 2: Grab a pencil and read the passage aloud.

Step 3: What "clicked?"

Step 4: What "cluncked?"

Step 5: Put fix-up strategies into play.

Suggestions are provided in all but Step 2. Consider printing a copy of this out and using it as a poster in your room...or perhaps sending a copy home with students whom might need additional support!

Read Aloud - Importance of Reading Aloud

Read Aloud - Importance of Reading Aloud | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

How important it is to read aloud to young ones 15 minutes per day? To get the answer to this question explore the infographic published by ReadAloud, a non -profit organization. Although geared to parents this infographic would be great for teachers to see (and refer to in parent meetings). Perhaps it comes as no surprise that "reading aloud is the single most important thing a parent or caregiver can do to improve a child’s readiness to read and learn" according to this infographic.

All voice actors should be reading aloud for 15 minutes daily for practice anyway, so if you're not doing this already with your kids, you really need to make the time to do it. It also happens to be a great way to test out and practice dialects and characters; your kids are usually more forgiving than the reviewers on Audible and Amazon.


If your grandchildren, nieces or nephews live far away, there's no reason why you can't Skype-read to them...or spend 15 minutes daily recording a book that you can send them when it's completed.


And if you don't have kids in your life, your local library or school would probably love to have a professional voice actor come in and read to students. Here are tips from the SAG Foundations BookPals for reading aloud: http://bookpals.net/ten-tips-for-reading-aloud/


...and they all lived happily ever after!

The proof is in the reading.  And making it a daily practice.

We know this, but it bears repeating, and repeating and repeating!!!!
