The school librarian is actively involved in the program and works with classes as they come to choose their literature. After looking through the book and examining the cover, students fill in prediction sheets about the book. Then, in whatever configuration the teacher has elected to use, the students proceed to read their books. Teachers query students on structure, characters, predictions and vocabulary. Students at this point select the activities they will complete for this particular book.
Students then finish reading the books and meet again with teachers in a post-conference.
Once again, predictions, vocabulary and comprehension questions are discussed, and arrangements are made for completion of the activities. The program has been very successful in the school. Students' motivation has increased, and they no longer need to be forced to read. They are more involved in reading, and their comprehension skills are much more advanced. While test scores have shown no dramatic trends over the past five years, there has been steady increase in learning skills for students as they progress through the grades.
