Although the teacher felt that Susan would enjoy discussing the novel, Esperanza Rising, with her classmates, the student was not able to read that chapter book independently. What steps could the teacher take to enable Susan to enjoy this novel with her classmates?
What will be an ideal response?
The teacher could suggest that Susan and another classmate engage in Partner Reading. Partner reading is an enjoyable social activity that enables students to discuss books that they may not be able to read independently. Partner reading is a good alternative to independent reading, and by working together, students are often able to figure out unfamiliar words and confusing situations.
