Trust – establishing positive relationships, trusting them to work independently with explicit instruction, build trust through lessons and guided practice Choice – structured but varies, after they have practiced all skills, teacher introduces student choice so they can make their own choices of activities, order that students choose day to day depends on goals, motivation, mood Community – classroom culture Sense of urgency – teach WHY they’re doing what they’re doing Stamina – start with small manageable chunks of time and practice skills, gradually building up; kids can’t naturally look at books for 20 minutes – need to work up stamina Stay out of the way – avoid reinforcement, stay out of the way and let them read PURPOSE+CHOICE=MOTIVATION

Taught in two different days, first going over how to read the words and read the pictures. On the second day, retelling is introduced as a part of reading a book.

I-Chart stands for Indenpendent – what the students can do independently.
Explain what student does – Look how Timmy is sitting quietly in one spot and got started reading right away. (Teacher reviews the chart as the student models the appropriate behavior.) – Bad read-to-self: This student is chosen so that they can then model the suitable way to read-to-self. This helps the student and class know that this student understands how to act appropriately during this time
If even one student starts to get off task, the time is stopped and the group is gathered back to the carpet area to discuss how they feel that they did during this time.
