How does the Reading Skills for Adults program work?

​

Pre-reading:  Students answer questions about the topic of the story and read definitions of words that are used in the story

First Timed Reading:  Students read as much of the story as they can in one minute.  They will mark how many words they read.

First Reading:  Students read out loud while the story is read to them.

Second Reading:  Students read out loud while the story is read to them. 

Third  Reading:  Students read out loud while the story is read to them.

Understanding and Writing:  Students answer comprehension questions and write a paragraph about some aspect of the story.

Final Timed Reading:  Students read the story to a teacher who is listening for fluency and noting any errors while being timed for one minute.  Students mark on their graphs how many WCPM (Words Correct Per Minute) were read.
