Monitor for meaning during oral and silent reading

Integrated throughout all levels and units Each selection has a “Questions for Understanding” component which

- suggests questions for critical thinking and understanding - can be used to monitor student learning - can act as prompts for reading circle, small group, or whole class discussions - can guide partner discussion

Use knowledge of pragmatic (e.g., age and tone of speaker), textual (e.g., titles, covers, headings, illustrations, paragraphs as units of meaning), semantic (e.g., sensory words), syntactic (e.g. word order and punctuation – period), and graphophonic (e.g., high-frequency sight words; phonetic analysis; structural analysis to identify compound words, contractions, singular and plural words) cueing systems
