Teaching the Lessons (continued) Echo Reading Following a modeled read, read one or two sentences of the section and stop. Have campers read the same sentences together. Continue reading one or two sentences at a time, stopping for campers to “echo” read. Partner Reading Following a modeled read, pair campers, ideally a more-fluent reader with a less-fluent reader. Have partners take turns reading aloud as the other follows along in their copy of the book. Silly Voices Following a modeled read, have partners take turns reading two sentences or lines at a time in their silliest voices. Fast Reading Following a modeled read, have partners take turns reading the entire text as fast as they can. This technique is ideal for on- or above-level readers. Bunk Time: Reading for Knowledge Campers may choose (with your guidance) a text from a Read-Aloud Text Set to read on their own or with partners. These curated Text Sets align with the read-aloud book for the lesson, supporting and extending knowledge topics explored in the book. To ensure that campers have access to texts they can read, Text Sets include decodable texts, short reads, and a book. As campers read, you are encouraged to circulate to • check comprehension. Ask about something new they learned, how their reading connects to the read-aloud book, and the gist of their Bunk Time text. • check fluency. Ask campers to read aloud some of the text they read on their own during Bunk Time. • connect to the 7 Strengths. Ask whether campers noticed examples of the strengths in their reading or in their interactions with other campers.
