10-second review: How incorporate reading in the content areas into a basal program in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades? Use chapter from a science, social studies text as a basal reading lesson.
Source: RE Sabaroff. 398.
Comment: Interesting idea. Will need to use the approach that is used in the basal, the directed reading assignment. Build students’ background information. Pre-teach unfamiliar vocabulary. Set purpose for reading by having the students survey the chapter (title, sub-title; illustrations, charts and graphs; first paragraph; first sentence of each middle paragraph; last paragraph), formulate questions to answer from students’ reading of the chapter, and, last, but not least, students apply or extend what they have learned.
