Lessons should be student-centered and incorporate their own life experiences. Students can learn effectively in many different settings and with a diverse set of materials. Using a pointer to keep the class on the same word, every student can follow along and learn from the class words that are unfamiliar. Either as a class or small group, certain sections of a story are repeated so the class can practice saying and reading new or complicated words. The teacher moves around the room to monitor the work.
Students get the opportunity to read by themselves.
Again, the teacher moves to each child to monitor. They then come to the classroom and write about their experience. These stories are collaborative and can be illustrated. A classroom's library can be augmented this way with stories and books created from the children's imagination and experience. Word trees can spell out sentences or words that have something in common.
