I found the video: "Steps to Creating a Language Experience Story" very helpful. It provided a step by step demonstration on how to utilize a student's knowledge a topic, what more they would like to know about that topic, and what they learned about the topic in the process. They then convert their personal experience into a story that they learn to read themselves.
These two charts, poor readers v. good readers, illustrates the expansive gap in an individual's abilities. The attributes listed for good readers lend to the readiness for higher order thinking.
Seems like poor readers should be working on short passages that stretch their abilities a little at a time so that they can develop overall retention and comprehension.
Reading is known to have numerous benefits. It increases your world knowledge, enhances your vocabulary, and works to improve your reading comprehension abilities.
But did you know that reading can actually make you smarter?
In fact, reading not only can make a child smarter, the very act of reading can even help to compensate for modest levels of cognitive ability in children by building their vocabulary and general knowledge! This is a finding reported by researchers Cunningham and Stanovich in a report titled "What Reading Does For the Mind".
The simple fact here is that reading can make your child smarter, and that learning to read early on is directly linked to later success in life.
1) Did you know that your child's vocabulary at 3 years old predicts his or her grade one reading success? [1]
2) Did you know that vocabulary and reading ability in first grade strongly predicts grade 11 outcomes? [2]
3) Did you know that your child's reading skill in grade 3 directly influences high school graduation? Studies have found that children who cannot read proficiently by grade 3 are four times more likely to leave school without a diploma than proficient readers! [3]

But how do you teach a young child to read, and isn't that the job of the school and teachers?
You can't be more wrong...
With the right tools, knowledge, and techniques, teaching young children to read can be a simple and effective process. I'd like to introduce you to a fantastic reading program called Children Learning Reading, a super effective method for teaching children to read - even children as young as just 2 or 3 years old.
The creators of this program have used it to teach their four children to read before age 3, and by reading, I mean real, phonetic reading.
I can understand if you find that hard to believe... In fact, I had a difficult time believing it myself as well... that is, until I saw the videos they posted documenting the reading progress of the their children - not to mention all the videos other parents have sent in showcasing their children's reading progress after using the Children Learning Program. After learning more about their methods and techniques, it became clear how it's possible to teach young children to read effectively.
It is truly within your ability to teach your child to read in a relatively short period of time spending just 10 to 15 minutes each day.

I agree with this section completely! I wish more focus was put on the poor readers in the school system instead of the good readers.
This reminds me of riding a bike. Seems so easy once you know, but hard when you are learning to break down the pieces and then put them all together!
You could make analogies with lots of routine activities that are really quite complex-driving, golfing, etc.
Things are not always as easy as they seem.
This takes commitment and work
To have a purpose and reasoning of the subject matter makes sense.
Reading difficult material out loud can be helpful.
Leaving these comments illustrates the good reader's ability to summarize what she has read.
I had no idea we were doing all this.
I agree..I had no idea we were doing all this.
I consider myself a good reader, yet had no idea of the sequence of my thinking while reading.

Makes sense! The titles of a passage really matter!
This was perfect information and one that really demonstrates the point.
I take these techniques for granted without realizing that I use them.

Good to know
Makes sense.
When good readers lose their concentration, they stop and make adjustments. Poor readers don't know what they don't know!
Seems like poor readers should be working on short passages that stretch their abilities a little at a time so that they can develop overall retention and comprehension.
Understanding the reason why some people seem to do better than others will help in teaching on a one on one bases.
The chart is a helpful reminder on what a good reader does and how to articulate it to a learning reader.
