Abstract
Inefficient reading of text by poor readers has always been a concern of reading teachers. This paper demonstrates an approach that increases vocabulary, aids comprehension, and improves writing. It incorporates three processes: guided reading, making words, and sentence writing.
The guided reading segment is where the text is introduced and then read by the students. Difficult words are studied and mini-lessons may be initiated at this time or a later time. The second portion of the lesson is for making words. A word is chosen from the guided reading text and becomes the target word for this portion of the lesson. Five or six words are culled from this target word (using only the letters that the target word contains), used orally in a sentence by the teacher, and written by the students. The third teaching segment involves the students writing the target word in a sentence dictated by the teacher.
