Dahl and Penny A. Freppon in Reading Research Quarterly, (Jan/Feb/Mar, 1995), pp. 50-74

  21. Elements Common to All Models Frontloading • Time invested on the front end of the lesson guarantees that more students will be better able to work independently away from you • Gradually turn over the responsibility for the reading and responding to the text over to the students by moving from modeling to guided practice to independent practice. • Make sure the purpose and directions for independent reading and writing are clear for all students before turning over the activity to students and starting any instruction with a small group Do-able Differentiation, p. 29
