Background: The student listens to a pictorial narration. The narration concludes with the narrator asking three questions to prompt a reason for reading.
Pronunciation: The student is presented with a page of text from the book and is urged to click on various words to hear their correct pronunciation.
Spoken Glossary: The student is presented with the same text with five key words colored in blue. The student is directed to click on each word to see and hear the word from a spoken glossary.
Assisted Reading: The student is presented with the same passage and is prompted to read along with the narrator and the words highlighted in yellow.
When working on one of the leveled web-passages students engage in BEFORE Reading activities that front-load vocabulary, DURING Reading activities that scaffold repeated readings, and AFTER Reading activities that assess fluency rate, vocabulary and comprehension.

Before Reading Vocabulary, Comprehension, & Fluency Building
During and After Reading Informational Books and Graphic Organizers
After students complete a web passage, the teacher introduces the students to the book that the passage is from through guided reading sessions and/or one-on-one reading conferences.
Developing student’s strategies and skills for reading nonfiction texts is an essential part of the independent reading component. Before students read the book, the teacher should assign an appropriate vocabulary application or comprehension activity that scaffolds students in developing critical reading for meaning skills.
As students read independently, they should be encouraged to take notes that will assist them with the task they will complete after reading the book.
Teacher’s Resource Guide
The web-based Teacher’s Resource provides support for student’s web-based practice, partnering, teacher supported instruction, independent student practice, and assessment.
FREE professional development is offered to provide access to information and training specific to strategies used to differentiate instruction for reading intervention and English language learners.
After reading a book, comprehension reproducibles reinforce content reading strategies and demonstrate students’ content knowledge.
Teacher’s Guide includes reading conference prompts and mini-lessons to support instruction.
Teacher Resources and Assessment:
Progress Monitoring
The teacher tools in the web-based portion of the Reading Web are designed to give the teacher flexibility in grouping students and in assigning passages for students to read. Teachers can add and edit students, create groups, review student data, listen to student’s recorded passages, and print reports at any time from any computer.
