"I Read, You Follow" Strategy from WriteBoston

Good afternoon! I have been implementing much of the WriteBoston strategies into my curriculum over the last two school years. I wanted to share this quick handout about the "I Read, You Follow" strategy that I have been implementing. I have seen a huge increase in students tracking their own reading as well as their ability to stay on task while others read aloud. I’ve also noticed students are more comfortable using a tracking tool which had previously been viewed as uncool by most of my middle schoolers. Students are more likely to read independently to completion as well, especially with lengthy and complex texts, when they feel as though they have the tools and strategies to do so.
