Materials for Strategy Instruction
The materials necessary to teach strategies are not specialized. They are the regular classroom materials that teachers use with students. However, the teacher should be purposeful in choosing materials that support specific strategy instruction. For example:
- Activating Prior Knowledge
Use texts that contain content familiar to students.
- Previewing/Utilizing Text Structure
Identify texts or portions of texts that are clear and obvious examples of a particular text structure.
- Adjusting Rate of Reading
Select texts that are both easy and difficult to model and provide practice of the need to vary the rate.
- Using Imagery
Identify texts rich in words that can evoke images (adjectives, adverbs) that occur in setting and character descriptions.
- Employing Vocabulary Techniques
Select texts or passages that have examples of the types of context for which you are providing instruction.
The strategies that are explained in this section will be imbedded in the Lesson Plans With a Reading Focus in the Underground Railroad website.
