Create little books: write each connected text story on a piece of paper, and fold it into book form to present to students. This is their first book!
When you write a story on more than one line, help students learn that when they get to the end of the first line, they move back to the beginning of the next line.
For the longer passages, ask students not only to form mental images, but also to draw pictures to illustrate the story.
To keep children in step when reading together, try clapping at the pace you want them to read each word (i.e., children should read a word each time you clap). An advantage of this approach is that you can speed up or slow down the pace depending on passage difficulty.
