From the Paper:

"Each day of the lesson plans will focus on one of the five identified strategies for fluency building in readers. Day one will make use of the strategies noted for phonemic awareness. This will be accomplished through Dr. Seuss's books such as 'C'at in the 'H'at. Day two will focus on the strategies reviewed for phonics instruction. Day three will be geared toward fluency in reading by reading aloud to students, having the students read aloud and then having students read independently. Day four will focus on vocabulary instruction with the teacher using the strategies noted in the research for vocabulary instruction. Day five will test the students on their comprehension of the instruction provided for phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary as well as testing their fluency through having the students read aloud from the Dr. Seuss books that are used in the first four days of the instruction in this unit."
