Elements of I Am a Reader

Each ‘I Am a Reader’ passage begins with high frequency or sight word reading. The words listed at the beginning of each passage will also show up in the text, so this serves as a front-loading activity. It is so important that this reading experience helps your students feel confident rather than defeated.

This way, their belief that they are readers will continue to grow.

After reviewing high frequency words, it’s time to read! Students will read the brief text in its entirety. In the digital version, a short GIF will play celebrating their success as a reader. This fun animated video is an easy way to make your students feel excited about their accomplishments.

In the printable option, students will read a quick sentence that praises them for finishing the text!

After reading, it is time to answer some short comprehension questions. Students will also identify the high frequency words they read. These two tasks are further developing your students’ literacy skills.
