The teacher elicits answers from the class, while guiding them.

She uses repetition and gestures, and writes on the board, to reinforce their responses, to ensure meeting the learning needs and skill levels of all students.

In Milestones, the Reading Strategy and the associated Academic Vocabulary are practiced and applied on every page of the reading selection. Students learn to use the strategy and the vocabulary.

For more information and the Instructional Routine for Reading Comprehension and Reading Fluency, please refer to the Staff Development Handbook in the Milestones Teacher’s Edition.
