Use of reading strategy (this is expository reading)

Use a Verbal K-W-L

Readability of text students will be reading

If the reading text and grade level are not within one grade level, explain how you plan on closing that gap.

When I used the Fry’s Readability Test, the textbook that I was reading was at the 2.0 Level. Since it was at this level, I will have the students read the sentences and then ask if anyone comprehends it, since I plan on a wide variety of reading levels. Then I will put it in my own words in a way they all will understand.
