Once upon a time,

in the streets of Paris, there was a little rat named Remy.

What Remy wanted, more than anything in the world, was to be a great baker and a fluent English speaker and reader!

Je m'appelle Remy!

I want to share my cakes, cookies, and croissaints á vous tous nice American tourists!

I know! I will make my English reading fluency

like I make my cakes!

In layers!

One day he was in his kitchen, and he had an idea!

accuracy

automaticity

prosody

comprehension

First Layer: Accuracy

1. Step One: Decoding

- Add Activated phonological memory connections

(brand name, Graphophonics) by recognizing

similarities between sounds of written words

(graphemes + phonemes) and syllables

- Semantic Cues: "Stir in flour, butter, sugar,

and two fresh ___"

- Syntax Cues: Pay special attention to

language patterns, word order, and

sentence structure. "Butter is delicious!"

Premiére layer is Accuracy!

Step Two: Bake Layer Accuracy

in an oven of Prior Knowledge at 350'

- Remember to add as many cognates as possible

- Mix in understanding of native language word parts, prefixes, suffixes, and root words

Gradually add in awareness of context clues

Let's go to the Opéra in Juin! I hear It's very high quialité!

Ding!

Now it's time to start on our secondaire layer! On 'l'appelle Automacity!

Second Layer: Automacity

1. Step One: Automatic Decoding

- Add in explicit instruction of key

vocabulary to bowl

- Sight Words: MIX - DO NOT SEPARATE

from context or authentic text!

2.Step Two: Double up with a more fluent partner to provide guidance, understand nuances, and pronunciation

3. Step Three: Bake on Repeated Reading setting

- After doubling up, have the more proficient student read

aloud a passage that is at, or slightly above grade level

- After listening, repeat the reading until stiff peaks of accuracy and reading (automacity) have formed!

It's ok, Remy!

I am 'ere to 'elp you!

Third Layer: Prosody

1. Step One: Intonation - Add

two tablespoons of baking soda to

model pitch and patterns of rising

and falling tones

2. Step Two: Stress - Add a little flavor by paying close attention to the force of stress put on words and syllables! "I am very happy to eat!"

Now we 're ready for our third layer, mon amie!

It has many parts!

4. Step Four: Tempo & Rate

- Measure the rate and phrasing of oral reading. This should not be too fast or too slow, but pay close attention to punctuation, syntax, and allow the reader to read the text aloud.
