SAMPLEBen and Me Reading For Comprehension Series Bundle PAGES Lee Ann Berg SAMPLE Notes and suggestions for using the materials PAGES SAMPLE The Teacher’s Guide SAMPLE The Teacher’s Guide contains reading comprehension and vocabulary questions and answers thatPAGES can be used during oral reading, or as part of a daily reading SAMPLE assignment. SAMPLE This group of questions can also be used to test the comprehension of the student or students if they are assigned chapters to read silently. The questions can be askedPAGES and answered orally, or used in combination with the provided (blank)SAMPLE SAMPLE worksheets. A Student’s Guide has been included. It contains the vocabulary words and SAMPLE PAGEScomprehension questions, but the answers and grade levels haveSAMPLE been removed. PAGESThe Vocabulary Words PAGES We have chosen to include a large number of vocabularySAMPLE words in order to SAMPLE provide words for as many grade levels as possible. PAGES Research shows that children can, on average, learn ten new words from any new PAGESreading assignment and in many cases SAMPLEless than five new words. It is suggested that you discuss the meaning of the vocabulary words in advance of reading so that the children will have some idea as to the meaning of these words as they PAGES read. Students should not be expected to retain all of the word meanings once PAGES they are finished with the chapter,SAMPLE but by introducing the meanings, we increase the chance that they will recall the meanings when they encounter them in a new context. Over time, repeated interaction will help the students develop mastery PAGES over word meanings.SAMPLE PAGES We have elected to grade the vocabulary words according to the EDL (Core Vocabularies in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies) which was PAGES published by Steck-Vaughn Company in 1989. PAGES GradingSAMPLE of the selected words can be helpful. For example if you see that many of the words in the list have a grade of 6th, or higher, and your students are reading at a third grade level, you will, of course, need to choose a book that has a PAGES SAMPLEvocabulary more suited to your students achievements. However, if you choose to have the students read this particular book even if SAMPLEvocabulary in the story is much higher than your student’s skills, you PAGESwill know

SAMPLEBen and Me Reading For Comprehension Series Bundle PAGES Lee Ann Berg SAMPLE that much time will be needed to prepare the children to have success in the reading and comprehension of the story. A blank vocabulary worksheetPAGES leaving a place for 10 words is included with the SAMPLE SAMPLE packet. It is only included as a suggestion. You may choose as few as 4 words based on your own criteria. You may use all 10 spaces for 10 new words to study. SAMPLE You may wish PAGESto pick more words. Or you may elect to choose none. SAMPLE Other options for the use of the vocabulary list

SAMPLE PuzzlesPAGES SAMPLE Select words that would be meaningful to your group or child. Visit the following website: http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com. This site allows you to make PAGEScrossword puzzles and/or other puzzles with chosen words. TheseSAMPLE choices could be made with the criteria of phonics, definitions, or other groupings such as SAMPLE archaic or cultural based words. PAGES PAGESTo promote retention, it is suggested that students draw a picture portraying the meaning of the word. SAMPLE SAMPLE PAGES PAGESA Word Game SAMPLE Write the words on cards or cut paper. Use at least three words per child in the group. Shuffle the cards. Go around the group asking each child to pronounce a PAGES word. (You may also require the students to define the word). If the child cannot PAGES do so go around the group SAMPLEuntil the word is correctly pronounced. The child who correctly pronounces a word gets to keep the card. The child is then asked to pronounce a second word. Again they get to keep the card if they answer correctly. If not, then continue around the group until this word is correctly PAGES PAGES decoded. If no SAMPLEchild can decode the word then keep the word after telling the group the pronunciation. Keep going around the group giving each child a turn until the cards run out. PAGES PAGES Now have each child chose one or two of their cards with which to quiz another studentSAMPLE of their choice. If the chosen child can read the card the asker must give the chosen child the card, and a point. If the child cannot read the card, the asker gains one point. PAGES SAMPLEAfter each child has had his turn everyone in the group counts the cards he has left plus each point he has earned. The one with the most cards (which are SAMPLEactually counted as one point) and points wins. PAGES
