During Reading

Instructional Routine

Think aloud as you model.

Model Fluent Reading

1. Read the article aloud with fluency and expression
2. Emphasize each leader by changing the tone of your voice and slowing down your reading rate when you read the repetitive phrase, "____ is a leader in school."

SAY: This is something to say to the class

Model Using Text to Comprehend

1. As you read, think aloud about how the illustrations help you understand how school leaders help at school.
   Page 1 (Advanced, Higher, Regular)
   SAY: The article is about leaders at school. The text says that leaders help people. The illustration supports this idea. I see a person giving advice to a large group of people.
   Page 2 (Advanced, Higher, Regular)
   SAY: I see a person at their desk in a school. The text says that a principal is a school leader. I wonder how they help at school? When I keep reading, it says that principals help teachers, parents and students.
2. Model using the text, illustrations and text structure to comprehend the article by thinking aloud about examples on other pages.
