Using a Predictable Text to Teach High-Frequency Words
Promising Practice
PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY

This lesson uses a predictable text to help students learn high-frequency words. Word learning is enhanced by whole-to-part tasks aimed at increasing the reader's need to attend to and process the print. Students develop fluency as they participate in choral reading activities. After reading the story, students reconstruct sentences using the words from the text. At the conclusion of the lesson, students write their own stories following the pattern from the original text.
