Choral Reading Read aloud the passage as campers follow along with their eyes on their own texts. Then have all campers read aloud as a group. If anyone is having difficulty with a word or phrase, correct or guide the whole group rather than singling out an individual camper. Whisper Reading Pair more-fluent readers with less-fluent readers. Have campers take turns reading the passage to one another in whisper voices.
BUNK TIME 20 MIN Reading for Knowledge
MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS Encourage campers to explore the texts available to them. Guide them to choose a text they can read comfortably on their own. Give them time to read. Check for comprehension by inviting them to reread a section of the text aloud to you, then tell you the gist of the text in English or their home language.
Invite campers to stretch or move before settling down to read on their own or with a partner. Distribute texts, or have campers choose a text from the Read-Aloud Text Set for the lesson to encourage extending knowledge related to today’s read-aloud. Make sure that all campers have a book or text that they can comfortably read on their own. When about five minutes remain in the session, have campers jot down in their notebooks something new they learned—or a connection they made—during their reading. Invite volunteers to share with the group.
If time allows, invite campers to explore and choose a book from your classroom library to read during a break or take home to share with their family. Bunk Check Circulate as campers read, using the following prompts to check on comprehension and engagement.
