Since the bombing of Pearl Harbor took place during WWII, the best option is to start with a prior knowledge strategy for comprehension. I will use an anticipation guide that contains ten true or false statements about Pearl Harbor and WWII and review them before the reading is started. Subsequently, I will start my next approach by conducting the shared reading approach to strengthen fluency. I will start the reading session and ask volunteers to join in and share. The shared reading strategy is a great way to monitor the student’s reading progress as well as promote fluency. ELL and ESE students will be paired up with a fluent English reader for coaching while reading. At times I will stop for short Q&A sessions to ensure everyone comprehends.
