Meaningful engagement with print before conventional reading

# data[].attributes.body
Reading with accuracy occurs when a reader:

1.Uses letter-sound knowledge to decode a word through segmenting and blending sounds. cat       /c/ /a/ /t/       /cat/

2.Decodes through analogy.
play         ay /ay/       /play/

enable       able /ābəl/      /enābəl/

3.Predicts a word by using context.  Those who read poorly do not process the detail of the print and tend to _____ over words they are unsure of because they cannot decode them.

4.Know the word on sight, automatically.  the      /thə/

Accurate, automatic reading is the end result when readers actively apply useful strategies as they read. (Serravallo, page 1)

Themes are the underlying ideas, morals, or lessons that give the story its texture, depth, and meaning. They are inferred by the reader. Teaching the theme helps students make more meaning of their reading so they don't miss what the story is about. Students begin to understand more of the text when they consider how the people, places, or objects represent something beyond their physical description.

Reading at an appropriate pace, with proper phrasing, and with intonation, expression, and emphasis on the correct words, a reader both communicates that the text is making sense and makes sense of the reading

When kids talk well about books, the conversations can be invigorating, engaging, and enlightening.

Conversations about reading play an important role in supporting student comprehension.

Students must be taught specific conversational skills.

This is a precursor to writing.

# data[].attributes.body
-phrasing or parsing:putting words together into meaningful groups
-expression or intonation or prosody: reading to match the feeling of the piece, paying attention to punctuation and dialogue marks
-emphasizing words: emphasis on words in a sentence to match author's meaning and paying attention to text treatments
-automaticity: reading known words automatically
-pace: reading at a pace that mirrors how we talk

# data[].attributes.body
Vocabulary is linked to reading comprehension. It helps students be able to access their background knowledge and learn new concepts. Teachers should encourage students to read a lot and notice when they come across new words. Teachers must give students strategies to figure out what those words mean and use those new words in writing and speaking.

-Character development is intertwined with plot development.
-Actors connect the events of the story and help readers stay engaged.
-Readers need to pay attention to details given by author to figure out who character is.

-emphasizing words to match meaning, paying attention to bold, all caps, and italics.

This goal is to support students in noticing when words are new, learn strategies for figuring out what those words may mean, and encourage the use of these words when they write and speak.

Strategies are used to encourage students to use the words once they have figured out their meanings.

It is the glue that makes comprehension possible for children when reading.

Fluency is made up of a few parts; phrasing, expression/ intonation, emphasis, automaticity, pace. Students often view fluency as performance and stop self-monitoring for meaning. Rather than assessing students only by pace we can listen for pauses and instances of expressive reading to evaluate phrasing and how often the reader paid attention to punctuation. Usually if the student has appropriate phrasing the pace will be too.
