Guidelines for Use of Instructional Resources
Use a balance of literature and informational texts.
Address text features and their purposes. (Headings, subheadings, bold and italic print, maps, graphs, charts, etc.)
Make connections between Imagine It! text and science and social studies SOL objectives. Reference the “Inquiry” piece.
Use the English Learner Support Guide for direct instruction of comprehension skills.
Model and think-aloud to make “visible” the thought processes that lead to understanding. Reference the English Learner Support
Guide for direct instruction of comprehension skills.
Combine complex text with effective instruction and scaffolding.
Establish a clear purpose for reading. Tell students specifically what they are to know and/or be able to do as a result of instruction.
Require students to “read with pen in hand” annotating the text as they read. Model as necessary. (highlighting)
Require students to read and re-read to consider meaning more deeply.
Require students to re-read for different purposes.
Utilize a variety of read aloud strategies.
Use text sets—text from different genres that address the same subject matter.
Practice fluency prior to reading challenging text as necessary. This is particularly needed with students who struggle with grade
level text.
Monitor students as they work independently. Be prepared to provide modeling and think-aloud support.
Copy the instructional resources to pass out as a worksheet packet.
Avoid difficult text or make tasks easier—both are less likely to result in stronger, more independent readers.
