Tips for prompting• Give time for student to self correct before helping

• Wait until the end of a sentence or paragraph

• Consider reading development (different in 1st

grade than in 6th grade)

• Think about meaning and fluency (knock on table for an error)

REMEMBER: Students should be reading on instructional level : 90-94% accuracy (6-10 errors every 100 words)
