I have found that many students can "read" by word calling, but they lack understanding because they don't have the vocabulary and experience needed to make sense of the words.
Many stories below contains a vocabulary introduction with images to help the student make connections to prior knowledge and the text. 
  Teacher: Some Native American tribes lived on the plains.  What do you think it was like for these First People living on the plains?
Student: Well, I know they got to eat lots of peanuts, because they always give you peanuts when you go on a plane.
