It provides great ideas to get students interested and involved in the reading process. She gives an example of reading books as a group that may be above their reading level. They then do a variety of charts and brainstorm as a group what went on in the book. She also recommends using two different books and having the students compare and contrast the books. It is similar to what we have been learning in our literacy class, this just provides some more resources for teachers to use in their classroom! Hope you enjoy and get a change to view the presentation, it is really good!

Do you think you will try these strategies in your classroom, Becky? Which ones appeal to you the most?

Perhaps. I thought the reading of two different texts was interesting because it provided different perspectives as well as modeled for the struggling readers how to read fluently. I also like the diagrams written on the chart paper. It gets the students thinking and has them retell or summarize what they heard/ read. I would definitely be interested in trying new things and seeing if they work!
ReplyDeleteBecky, I went through the slides and what really struck me was the idea of letting the students know what those higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy look like in classroom work. It appears that in one slide, the educators at the school which was part of this production explicitly stated the varying degrees of difference from lower order thinking to that of higher order thinking. Quite interesting.
