HOW TO USE THE LESSON PLAN
CHAP-
Overview of Unit Format
Each unit of Real Reading consists of two thematically related chapters. Compelling
readings in a variety of genres have been carefully written or adapted from authentic sources
and feature a principled approach to vocabulary development.
• Chapters consist of pre-reading and post-reading activities, including a reading skill,
a reading goal, comprehension questions, and discussion activities.
• Reading and vocabulary skill building and vocabulary learning strategies based on Paul
Nation’s research help students become more confident and successful in preparation for
academic reading and reading on standardized tests.
Suggested Methods of Instruction
This lesson plan can serve as a generic guide for any unit in the Student Book.
• Suggested methods for delivering instruction for each section or activity in a unit are
presented.
• Alternative ways to handle each activity are provided under the heading Variations.
These options allow instructors to vary the way they treat the same activity from chapter
to chapter and in so doing to identify the methods that work best for a specific class or
individual students.
Think Before You Read
Each unit begins with a thought-provoking opener that introduces students to the unit theme,
elicits vocabulary relevant to the theme, and includes discussion questions to activate
students’ prior knowledge and stimulate interest.
A. and B.
(approximately 10 minutes)
• Ask students to silently read the discussion questions. Answer any questions the students
have. Then elicit one possible answer for the first discussion question. Give students a few
minutes to read the discussion questions.
• Have students label everything that they see in the pictures. If they do not know a word in
English, they should look it up in a translation dictionary or ask the instructor or a
classmate.
• Have students form pairs or small groups to discuss their answers. Tell them they will
report at least one of their answers to the class. Instruct them to write any new words they
encounter on the New Words pages in the back of the book.
• After 10 minutes, ask several students to share their answers.
2
Model Lesson Plan
Variations
• Ask students to answer the discussion questions in writing at home. Have them read their
partner’s or group members’ answers in class and discuss their answers.
• Assign one discussion question per pair or small group. Have each pair or group discuss
the question and report their ideas to the class.
• Start listing important vocabulary on the board that comes out of the class discussion or
your reaction to students’ responses. Ask about students’ familiarity or knowledge with the
words. Offer other examples of and contexts for the words as necessary.
• Choose one discussion question and have each student do a one-minute freewrite to
expand ideas generated from the discussion. The students’ writing can be passed around
the class or reviewed in small groups to encourage further feedback and discussion. The
activity may also serve as a closure to the discussion.
• After students have discussed the questions, ask them to write for 1 to 3 minutes in
answer to the questions. Have students exchange their writing with a partner or group
member and compare their ideas.
Prepare to Read
This section previews words and phrases that students will encounter in the reading. Students
reflect on what they already know and then answer questions about the topic.
A.
(approximately 10–15 minutes)
• Tell students that they will be learning new vocabulary that they need for the readings in
the chapter and reading in general. Explain that learning a word is a gradual, cumulative
process, and that this activity is designed to raise their awareness of what it means to
know a word. Although some of the words in the list may be familiar to students, that
does not necessarily mean that they know the word well enough to be able to use it in
their own speech and writing. Conversely, they might be able to pronounce and spell the
word perfectly, and yet not really know what it means.
• Tell them that almost all of the vocabulary words that are targeted in this book are
high-frequency words, so they are very useful for English language learners. Tell students
they will see these words in general texts like magazines and newspapers, as well as in
academic texts like textbooks and journal articles.
• Have students complete the vocabulary exercise without using a dictionary. Tell them to
pay close attention to what they already know about the words, as well as what they need
to learn.
• Have students compare their answers with a partner. Walk around the class to monitor
discussions. Listen for students’ knowledge of the words. Make notes on any particular
problems or misunderstandings you notice so that you can focus on them later.
• Bring the class together. Pronounce all targeted words for students, and have students
repeat after you. Refer to the Pronunciation Table at the back of the book as necessary.
List the vocabulary on the board. Ask for volunteers from each group to write stress
markers and example sentences for the target vocabulary on the board. Then bring the
class together and elicit corrections if necessary.
Model Lesson Plan
3
Variations
• Have students complete the exercise for homework and compare answers with a partner.
• Categorize the vocabulary according to part of speech. Write the headings Noun, Verb,
Adjective, and Adverb on the board. Have students copy the headings on paper. In pairs or
as a class, categorize the vocabulary. Be aware that some words will fall under more than
one heading. For a more active exercise, call on students to write the words on the board
by part of speech.
• With the words on the board, ask students which words have a positive, negative, or
neutral connotation, and identify it next to each word (⫹, ⫺, n).
• At home, have students make a word card for each unfamiliar vocabulary word from the
exercise, after first demonstrating how they should review their cards.
• Ask students to write a sentence using two or three of the words they know. Have students
share their answers in small groups or as a class. Write some of the examples on the board.
• Assign one or two words to different students the day before the exercise. Ask them to
prepare a short presentation of the words, including part of speech, pronunciation, and
meaning. Rotate this activity so all students have a chance to participate as you progress
through the book.
• Divide students into small groups. Assign two or three words per group. Have students
look up their words in the dictionary and look at their pronunciation. Refer students to the
Pronunciation Table at the back of the book. Have each group pronounce their words and
correct as necessary. Have the class repeat the words in chorus.
• Keep the list of target words on one side of the board. Refer to it when students encounter
or use these words in the unit.
B.
• Have students work in pairs to complete the exercise.
• Have students label everything that they see in the pictures. If they do not know a word in
English, they should look it up in a translation dictionary or ask the instructor or a
classmate.
• Tell students to list unknown words on the New Words pages in the back of the book.
• Call on students to share their answers to the questions.
Variations
• On the board, write important or useful vocabulary that you hear.
• When responding to students, incorporate the target vocabulary items from the unit in
your responses. Ask follow-up questions that use the target items.
Reading Skill
Each unit contains one or two key reading skills.
• Write the name of the reading skill on the board.
• Ask students with which kinds of text they think they can use the skill (e.g., for
magazines, newspapers, textbooks). Have them explain their answers.
• Ask students if the skill is a pre-reading, during reading, and/or post-reading strategy
and why.
4
Model Lesson Plan
• Ask and answer questions to confirm that students comprehend the skill. For example,
you might ask them how previewing is different from predicting, or when they should
scan a text rather than skimming it.
• Recycle previously taught skills in future units to promote greater mastery.
Variations
• Assign two students to prepare a short 2–3 minute lesson that describes what the skill is,
when it is used, and why it is helpful. Have students present the lesson and answer
questions that the class has. Monitor as necessary. Have students take the class through
Exercise C to check answers.
• Offer examples of using the skill by bringing in other texts or using texts you have found
online. Make the texts short, simple, and level-appropriate.
• Have students keep a Reading Skill log that lists the reading skills from the book in one
column, a short definition of the skill in the second column, its occurrence (pre-, during,
post-reading) in the third column, and a blank fourth column for the number of times they
use the skill. As students read the texts in the book or outside texts, have them keep track
of the skills they are using by putting a checkmark () every time they use a skill.
C.
• Have students complete the exercise. Encourage students to refer to the reading to find the
answers.
• Go over the exercise as a class and answer any questions.
• Ask students to explain how the skill helped them find the correct answers and why it
helps improve their reading comprehension.
Variations
• Have students complete the exercise for homework. Have them compare their answers
with a partner or group members. Ask several students to report their answers.
• Have students answer the questions individually and raise their hands when they think
they have the correct answers. Circulate through the room and check students’ answers.
Explain any missing answers, and ask students with correct answers to report their
answers to the class.
Read
Each unit contains two major readings. Vocabulary is tightly controlled, and target words are
recycled from one chapter to the next within a unit and from unit to unit.
• Preview the reading by looking at the title, subtitles, illustrations, and boldfaced target
vocabulary. Have students guess the topic, main idea, and purpose of the reading from
their previewing.
• Tell students to read each reading two or three times.
• Encourage students not to use a dictionary the first time they read because it interrupts the
reading comprehension process. Tell students to focus on main ideas during the first read
even if some words are unfamiliar. The second time, have students reread and mark
Model Lesson Plan
5
unfamiliar vocabulary words. On the third reading, let students use a dictionary to look up
words they do not know, and that seem important to their comprehension of the text. Point
out that if they can understand the sentence by merely eliminating the unknown word,
then it is probably not necessary to learn that word, at least not for the moment.
• Encourage students to develop and use annotating as they read. Tell students to underline
or highlight main ideas and important details. Also, have them make notes in the margins
about things they don’t understand or that they find particularly interesting. This will
make it easier for them to participate in a class discussion of the reading.
Variations
• Have students read the text for homework. Tell students to follow the above system of
reading, and be prepared to respond to questions about the main ideas and details of the
reading.
• Begin discussion of the reading by writing a question on the board about a main idea of
the text. Give students a few minutes to answer the question with a partner with their
books closed.
• Play the audio recording of the reading. Have students read along silently as they listen to
the audio.
• Using the audio recording, play a selected section of the reading. Have students retell the
main point of the section in small groups or as a class.
• Give students 10–15 minutes to read the essay or article in class for timed-reading
practice. Explain that research has shown that if readers push themselves to read at a
faster than comfortable rate, they often have a higher comprehension of the reading. Have
students use a large index card or folded white paper to cover up the lines in the reading,
moving the card or paper downward on the page as they read. Students can time
themselves by recording their start and end times, and calculating their reading rate using
this formula (the number of words in each reading is provided in the Unit Notes):
number of words in reading ⴜ total time in seconds 60 ⴝ words per minute
This will motivate students to increase their reading speed. Do not let them use
dictionaries.
• Have students take turns retelling the main points of a reading as a whole or paragraph by
paragraph to a partner. Circulate through the room, assisting students with difficult
passages. Especially difficult passages may merit a whole-class discussion.
• Have students write a “one-minute” summary of the introduction (or another section) of a
reading as a type of pop quiz. Teachers may wish to collect the summaries and grade
them, especially with students who are not keeping up with reading assignments.
• Assign small groups the task of carefully rereading sections of a reading. One group
member should be prepared to explain the gist of the section to the entire class, with other
group members taking notes on main points, and still others using a dictionary to make
word cards on difficult target vocabulary from the passage.
• Have students complete a graphic organizer based on the ideas in a reading. Helpful
organizers include Venn diagrams, KWL charts (what I know, what I want to learn, what I
learned), and timelines.
• Divide the reading into four or five parts. Assign one group of students for each part. Have
each group make a poster that identifies the main idea of the section and lists any
important vocabulary with definitions or example sentences. Students can also draw a
picture or symbol that represents the main idea of their section. Have each group present
their poster to the rest of the class.
6
Model Lesson Plan
• Divide students into permanent study groups. Study groups can serve as resources inside
and outside the class to discuss reading texts, help each other with difficult passages, and
check each other’s homework. They can also study together before exams.
Vocabulary Check
This section gives students an opportunity to focus on the meaning of the target vocabulary
before completing the comprehension activities.
• Have students complete the exercise for homework.
• Have students check answers with a partner. Circulate and answer questions.
• Go over the answers with the class. Write the target vocabulary words on the board.
• Practice group and then individual drilling of words that are challenging for students to
pronounce. Indicate stressed syllables on the board.
Variations
• Have students complete the exercise with a partner or small group. Circulate through the
room, assisting students with any items they have difficulty with.
• Ask students to identify grammatical clues in the items. For example, if the blank is
preceded by an article—a, an, or the—the item is likely a noun. If the blank is preceded
by a subject, the item is likely a verb. Have students notice the grammatical clues in the
items as well determine the part of speech for each word.
• Have students look back at the reading to identify collocations with the boldfaced target
vocabulary. Have them write sentences about the reading using three to five collocations.
Bring in collocations dictionaries for students to reference in small groups as they write
their sentences, or make photocopies of particular entries you want them to focus on.
Have students write example sentences on the board. Answer any questions students have.
Read Again / Comprehension Check
(15–20 minutes)
The reading goal gives students a purpose for rereading the text before completing the
comprehension activities. Engaging and varied exercises help students achieve the reading
goal. Target vocabulary is recycled, giving students additional exposure to high-frequency
words and expressions.
• Emphasize to students the importance of second and third readings. Tell them that each
time they read, they should have a particular goal in mind. Offer examples of times you
have read with different goals and purposes in mind. Ask students for their own examples.
• Have students look at the Reading Goal for the reading. Ask students how they will
achieve the goal. Help them identify what strategies they can use to complete the task,
including ones previously learned. Explain that the exercises in the Comprehension Check
will help them to achieve the goal.
• Have students complete the exercises for homework.
• Have students compare their answers in pairs or small groups. Circulate and check their
answers.
• As you circulate, make note of any items students had difficulty with. Bring the class back
together to discuss the difficult items.
Model Lesson Plan
7
Variations
• Have students complete the exercises in class. Use the first two exercises as a quiz to
check if students have completed the assigned reading. Have students answer the
questions within 5–10 minutes, and then have partners score each other’s quizzes.
• Assign individual exercises or parts of exercises to specific pairs or groups. Ask a student
in each pair or group to report answers to the class.
• Bring in outside readings on the topic of the unit readings to give students additional
reading practice. Outside readings should be short and easy enough to be read quickly, for
example, in the minutes before class begins, or as an end-of-class activity or short quiz.
Have students identify main ideas. Have them look for any connections they see between
the outside reading and book text. Look for any target vocabulary in the reading to point
out to students.
Discuss
(10–15 minutes)
Each unit contains two post-reading discussion activities. A variety of activities for smallgroup or pair work encourages students to use vocabulary from the current unit as well as
previous units.
• Have students preview the discussion questions. Answer any questions.
• Have students answer the questions in small groups. Tell them they will report at least one
of their answers to the class.
• Circulate and take notes on students’ responses.
• Call on students to share their answers. Encourage them to use the target vocabulary in
their responses. Write the target vocabulary on the board for reference.
Variations
• Encourage students to work with different partners for each discussion activity.
• Have students answer the questions in pairs. Assign one discussion question per pair. Then
group two pairs together to share and compare responses as a small group.
• As students share their responses in groups or with the whole class, ask follow-up
questions using the target vocabulary of the chapter. Ask students to answer in complete
sentences using the target vocabulary. Put a check mark () next to the words for each
instance students use the word in the discussion.
• After students have discussed the questions, have them write for 1–3 minutes in answer to
one of their questions. Have students exchange their writing with a partner and compare
their ideas.
• Ask students to answer the discussion questions in writing at home. Have them read their
partner’s or group members’ answers in class and discuss their answers.
8
Model Lesson Plan
Vocabulary Skill Building
(10–15 minutes)
There is one vocabulary skill building exercise per unit. This section offers presentation and
practice with common vocabulary skills.
• Write the name of the vocabulary skill on the board.
• Have one student read the instruction text aloud.
• Answer any questions students have about the vocabulary within the instructional text.
• Elicit the answer to the first item of the exercise as an example.
• Have students complete the exercise. Circulate to answer questions and confirm that
students comprehend the skill.
• Ask several students to report their answers to the class.
• Ask students to explain how the vocabulary skill can be useful when reading.
• Recycle previously taught vocabulary skills in future units to promote greater mastery.
Variations
• Have students answer the practice questions in pairs. Ask students to recall the skill while
going over the answers together as a class.
• Have students answer the practice questions for homework. Have them compare their
answers with a partner or group members. Ask several students to report their answers.
• Assign pairs of students to present the skill to the class.
• Have students use their dictionaries in class to find other examples of the vocabulary skill.
Use the targeted words in the unit whenever possible.
Learn the Vocabulary
A., B., and C.
(15–20 minutes)
Each unit contains one Learn the Vocabulary section, which challenges students to practice
strategies and techniques outlined by Paul Nation that will help them to acquire not only the
target vocabulary but also vocabulary beyond the text.
• Write the name of the vocabulary strategy on the board.
• Have one or more students read the instructional text aloud.
• Answer any questions students have about vocabulary within the instructional text.
• Elicit the answer to the first item of the exercise as an example.
• Have students complete the exercise. Circulate to answer questions and confirm that
students comprehend the skill.
• Help students notice that they have been building on their vocabulary knowledge
throughout the unit. Emphasize the importance of identifying new words and how their
knowledge of the words has changed and improved.
Model Lesson Plan
9
• Finish by bringing the class together as a whole. Ask students to keep the skill in mind as
they learn vocabulary in future units.
• Recycle previously taught Learn the Vocabulary strategies in future units to promote
greater mastery.
Variations
• Have students test each other using the word cards they made. Have students read or show
one side of the card and have their partner guess the other side (e.g., a word, a definition,
a picture)
• Have students use their word cards to play review games, such as charades. Divide the
class into two or three teams. Have students choose a word from their word card list to act
out in front of the class to their team. Have the team guess the word. Give each team a
point for a correct guess, marking their totals on the board.
• Have students work in groups of four or five to write a story. Have each student in the
group choose a word from their word cards. Give the groups 10–15 minutes to write a
story using all the words. If necessary, offer possible topics, such as The Best Day of My
Life, A Great Surprise, or An Unlucky Day.
Fluency Practice
Four fluency practice sections address learners’ extensive reading needs. Learners practice
fluency strategies, read passages, check comprehension, and calculate their reading times.
Fluency Progress Charts are provided at the back of the book for students to record their
reading times and Comprehension Check scores.
Fluency Strategy
• Present the fluency strategy. Read through important points or call on a student to read the
strategy box aloud.
• Ask students how the strategy can improve their fluency while reading.
• Ask and answer questions to confirm that students comprehend the skill.
Variations
• Have students read the strategy box for homework. The next day, call on students to
explain the skill. Make notes on the board that define the skill, explain its purpose, and
identify its importance.
Before You Read
• Have students answer any discussion questions in pairs or small groups. Tell each pair or
group they will report one of their answers to the class. Elicit responses for each
discussion item from the pairs or groups.
• Have students preview the reading. Emphasize the importance of previewing and reading
with a purpose or questions in mind.
10
Model Lesson Plan
Variations
• Have students complete the exercises for homework. Ask students to write their answers
on paper. Have students compare their answers in small groups. Circulate and answer any
questions.
Read
A. and B.
• Have students work individually to complete the reading and time themselves.
• If necessary, help students calculate their reading speed.
• Have students record their reading speeds in the Fluency Progress Chart at the back of
the book.
Variations
• Have students complete Exercise A (first timed reading) at home. Then have students
complete Exercise B (second timed reading) in class the next day.
• Confirm that students’ second readings were shorter in length. If not, ask students to try to
identify why it took longer. Help students identify strategies they can use to increase their
reading speed in future fluency practices.
Comprehension Check
• Have students complete the exercises individually. Circulate and answer any questions.
• Refer students to the Fluency Practice Answer Key at the back of the book. Have students
check their answers and record their scores in the Fluency Progress Chart at the back of
the book.
Variations
• Have students complete the exercises in pairs or small groups.
• For homework, have students complete the Comprehension Check exercises and check
their answers. The next day, ask students about any difficult items.
Vocabulary Practice
These activities appear at the back of the book and reinforce understanding of the target
vocabulary, vocabulary skills, and vocabulary learning strategies.
• Have students complete the exercises in pairs. Circulate and answer questions, but
encourage independent work.
• Encourage students not to use a dictionary to complete the exercises.
• When students finish the exercises, allow them to refer to the unit to answer any questions
they have about the vocabulary, the skill, or the strategy.
Variations
• Have students complete the exercises for homework. Have students compare their answers
in pairs or small groups.
• Use the vocabulary practice exercises as a way to extend or reinforce common vocabulary
skills taught in the book, such as roots, prefixes and suffixes, and collocations.
• Have students review their word cards. Ask students to add any new information they learned
about their words to their cards. Have students test each other using their word cards.
Model Lesson Plan
11
Tests
The reproducible tests—available in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats—appear online
in Test Master. They allow teachers to evaluate students’ progress and to identify areas where
students might have problems developing their reading and vocabulary skills. The tests
should be given upon completion of the corresponding units. Answer keys are provided to
make marking the tests as straightforward as possible.
There is a test for each of the 12 units. Every test begins with a reading that ties in with the
unit theme. The reading is followed by three parts:
• Part 1: Comprehension
The Comprehension section tests students’ understanding of the reading and their ability
to apply the reading skill(s) introduced in the unit.
• Part 2: Vocabulary
The Vocabulary section assesses students’ knowledge of the target vocabulary.
• Part 3: Vocabulary Skill Building
The Vocabulary Skill Building section tests students’ mastery of the vocabulary skill
introduced in the unit.
