By doing the five follow-up activities that accompany each short paragraph, students will read the same paragraph a minimum of four times:
1. Read the paragraph when first presented with it.
2. Look back at the paragraph to respond to the follow-up exercises.
3. Complete the cloze reading activity involving the paragraph.
4. Follow the direction to “Re-read your completed paragraph to make sure it makes sense.”
