Step
2:
Think
aloud to model the reasoning process that should be used
Teacher:
I am going to pretend that I do not know a word in our reading selection.
I am going to model and talk aloud my thoughts about how I am going to
solve my "unknown" word. The first word I come to is "invertebrate."
I do not know how to say this word. My teacher told me that when
I was having problems sounding out a word to re-read the sentence and see
if there are any clues in the text to help. The sentence says, "About
97% of all other animal species are invertebrates." I know that 97%
of all other animals are this word, but I still can not say the word.
I better go back and re-read the sentence one more time to see if there
are any more clues to help me.
