Learning Targets
• I can review I-Chart components and
Focus Lessons for Listen to Reading.
• I can learn about Listen to Reading from other
teachers (our video clips).
• I can review resources available to me for this
component.
Why “Listen to Reading”?
Valuable for developing fluency and vocabulary……
• Listening comprehension precedes reading
comprehension
• Exposure to a variety of speech patterns increases oral
fluency
• Audio paired with text develops reading skills
• Listen to reading – reviewing the I chart video
