When teaching reading strategies, I always started off with a shared reading lesson using a picture book (there is a great list of titles and lessons in Strategies That Work). During these lessons I model the strategy and elicit responses from my students. After two to three shared reading lessons, students would then practice using the strategy with instructional level text during guided reading. Each student would use a laminated Strategy Card and sticky notes.
We spend about 2-3 weeks on a strategy before focusing on a new one. Once all six strategies are taught and practiced, the strategies are used in combination throughout the rest of the year. After the initial direct-teaching phase of all the strategies, it's amazing how the students just "take off." They have such ownership over these strategies and are using them everyday; they become second nature to the students!
Another helpful tip is using visual cue for each strategy. These posters are perfect for reminding students of the 6 strategies when they are reading independently or during guided reading. You can download them for free {HERE}.
I made these posters to "match" the free ones I made for the Common Core Mathematical Practices, which you can grab {HERE}.
