Wide Reading Lesson Plan
Wide reading emphasizes the role of extensive scaffolded oral reading practice and the reading of a wide variety of texts. It follows all of the same scaffolded practices of the FORI lesson plan, except that instead of a single repeated text per week, there is less emphasis on repeated reading. Instead, children read three different texts per week.
