  1. Create Visuals

  2. Ask questions! *What happens next? Who are the characters? What's the setting?

  3. Create Projects and activities to get into a deeper thinking of the book

  4. Choose books that the student has an interest in

  5. Do read alouds!

Teach vocabulary in advance, especially words that might be confusing or central to the topic.


Discuss the text afterward, either in groups or as a whole class, to deepen understanding and clear up confusion.


Make sure students are reading texts at the right level.
