Teaching tips

  • Display the least-filled chart when introducing the first expectation, then replace it as routines expand.

  • Model the thinking expectations aloud so learners see that quiet reading also involves active comprehension.

Skills covered

  • Comprehension monitoring — readers notice and respond to their own understanding.
