Teaching a story track lesson in a Multistrategy instructional program

 
by Mary D. Stringer
 

Introduction
 

Teaching a story track lesson in a Multistrategy instructional program involves teaching reading and writing using a holistic global approach to reading through texts and stories. The focus of the story track lesson is on teaching comprehension, fluency and expression.

 
Tip:

This module is based on two sources:

  • Working together for literacy by Stringer and Faraclas
  • Working together for Literacy (Chapters 1 and 3) by Mary Stringer

The revised version of chapters 1 and 3 is included in the Literacy bookshelf. Because this revision is an external document, each link to it opens a file using the Acrobat Reader program and displays the first page of the book. You can jump to a specific location in the book by using the appropriate bookmark in the outline window.
