Tools for this Unit:

Implementing the Data

Once the content is determined, the next step is implementation. When reading the book to the students, the skills that show deficit become the target for the activities. Some examples of these skills are: identifying purpose before reading, expanding a reading vocabulary, identifying and correctly using idioms and words with literal and figurative meanings, or having to use root words and/or context clues to understand specialized vocabulary in the content areas during reading. (Resources to find alternate series books can be found in Appendix A)
