Listening/auditory skills
BEFORE, DURING, AFTER
Fiction AND Non-fiction
Blend….and Triangulate
• Textbook reading
• Current events and
magazines
• Online, tech based
reading

READING REQUIRES A COMBINATION OF
SKILLS…”directed” by the reader!
Help your mentee develop the ability to
think through the reading …
and describe that to you!
Reading Components
• Vocabulary

use of cognitive strategies—enabling

NOW WE ARE ROUNDING THE CORNER!
Talk about the NEED for
Speed
• Assignments require preparation
– Before and after
• Sight words must be reviewed
– Before, during, and after…matching and drawing
• Try using cards and word games
• Assessments should be considered ahead of
time, piece by piece
– they matter at every level…help you focus on the
destinations students must focus on reaching
Road to Academic SUCCESS
• Reading Research points to strategies and
metacognition for brain pathways
• Both reading and writing require
processes that can be used as a RELIABLE
and predictable “ROAD MAP”
Before, During, and After
each mentoring session
Focus on the Purpose
Then look for the most efficient Process
Consider the Power of Paired Reading
Be sure to READ ALOUD…BOTH of you!
Break out the manipulatives: dice, markers,
pipe cleaners, picture cards
• PLAY GAMES…you are the second or 3rd line
of defense (behind teachers and parents)

the right skills and attitudes
