Beginning
readers not only need to secure their decoding skills with
decodable text, but also need read - aloud experiences to build content knowledge, vocabulary, and listening comprehension.
Discover ways to meet the varied needs of the developing
reader with the Superkids Reading Program, which uses a research - based, three - pronged approach to text use: (1)
decodable text to build decoding automaticity; (2) teacher - supported grade - level informational text so all students have access to the same vocabulary and content; and (3) above - grade - level read - aloud text experiences to boost students» listening comprehension and vocabulary.
