In this video, this 4^th grade teacher introduces a multi-step strategy for flexibly reading big words. Notice how the teacher enunciates clearly and has the students do the same to hear all the sounds in the word.

This lesson aligns to the CORE Teaching Reading Sourcebook HOW lesson, pp. 308-313.

In this video, the teacher introduces 5^th grade students to the comprehension strategy, Question Answer Relationships (QAR).
