  7. What the StandardsDoN’t Value in Reading comprehension…

  8. These phrases are NOT in the Common Core… make text-to-self connections, access prior knowledge, explore personal response, relate to your own life…

  9. Time – In & out of Text More instructional time spent outside the text means less time inside the text. Departing from the text in classroom discussion privileges only those who already have experience with the topic. It is easier to talk about our experiences than to analyze the text—especially for students reluctant to engage with reading.
