Direct explanation:
▪ The teacher explains to the students what the strategy is and its purpose
Modeling:
▪ The teacher demonstrates how to use this strategy by “thinking aloud” while interacting with actual text
Guided practice:
▪ The teacher works with students to help them figure out how and when to use this strategy, again within the context of reading actual text.
Feedback:
▪ As students practice, the teacher may engage them in discussion or ask them to think aloud. During this time, the teacher provides feedback about correct and incorrect responses.
Application:
▪ The teacher asks students to apply strategies to other texts. At this point, students move toward assuming responsibility for determining what strategy to use, and how, when, and why to use it.
