Read-Ask-Paraphrase. [29] The student locates main idea and supporting details for each paragraph and summarizes them on a graphic organizer.
RAP Interactive Form [30]
Read Actively. [31]THe student reads, covers, recalls from memory, and rereads each paragraph to boost comprehension.
Partner Retell. [32]The student reads a passage, then pairs with another student to engage in a tutoring exchange to identify main idea.

ART Interactive Form. [36]
Phrase-Cued Text Lessons. [37]The student reads aloud from annotated text and is coached to observe all pauses/phrase breaks, which correspond to groupings of ideas within the text. ONLINE APP: Phrase-Cued Text Generator [38]

Spelling

Spelling Acquisition. The student is able to spell a grade-appropriate range of words correctly.

Cover-Copy-Compare. [39]The student studies spelling-word (or sight-word) models, covers them, copies them from memory, and compares copied words to the originals. CCC Interactive Form [40]
Self-Correction with Verbal Cues. [41] The student takes a brief spelling pre-test, follows a self-guided process to check and correct spelling errors using verbal cues, and then takes a spelling post-test
