Answer to Question 1

Teachers organize instruction around a model-engage-practice-reinforce/reflect approach that focuses on tapping and developing students' background knowledge, strengthening vocabulary and setting purposes for reading, developing robust silent reading skills, engaging students in challenging discussion activities that exercise higher-order thinking skills, and reinforcing reading in follow-through activities that stimulate thought and reflection. Several research-based techniques and strategies are commonly used across different types of reading programs (e.g., reading workshop) in daily reading lessons.

Answer to Question 2

Content focuses on helping students know and use skills related to word meaning and sentence meaning, text organization and deriving meanings, making judgments and reading critically, and developing habits of lifelong reading. Reading to learn techniques provide specific guidance in activating background knowledge, adding to background knowledge, developing vocabulary, setting purposes for reading, monitoring silent reading, and following through to reinforce and consolidate comprehension.
