  3. What do we need to teach students so that they will love reading? After assessing students’ readiness, interests, learning profiles, and talents, we want to create activities that are interesting, high level, and cause students to use key strategies to understand a key concept, skill, or generalization. Differentiate curriculum on the basis of: • Content- what a student should come to know (facts), understand (concepts and principles), and be able to do (skills) as a result of a lesson, a learning experience, and a unit. • Process- (activities) the opportunity for students to make sense of the content. • Product- something students produce to exhibit major portions of learning.

  4. What is Guided Reading? • “Guided reading is a teaching approach, designed to help individual students learn how to process a variety of increasingly challenging texts with understanding and fluency.” Fountas and Pinnell, 2001

  5. S.S.R. or D.E.A.R. • Teachers guide book choices • Teachers monitor comprehension through individual conferences. • Conference is NOT a “test” but a “checkup” • Teaching happens during a conference • Students keep track of their reading • Students analyze their monthly reading goals.

  6. Conferences • Student can retell story. • Student might read 3 pages and teacher reads the same 3 pages sitting next to the child. • Teacher takes notes on vocab/ideas/concepts. • Teacher asks, “how did you figure this our while you were reading?” • Keep a modified running record if the child is reading aloud. • I.e.: P 34 child: probably text: probed type of error: meaning

  7. Literacy Blocks • Planning is a key tool to providing effective literacy blocks. * 20- minutes- work work/spelling/phonics *40 minutes- core novel or core literature book everyone has a copy of. *40-50 mins. Guided Reading, literature *Mon, Tues, Wed, circles and centers Thurs- Lit circles, discussion Fri- Library, Reader’s theater or teach to independent book project

  8. Comprehension The ability to interact with words and ideas on the page in order to understand what the writer has to say Four Elements of a Successful Program of Comprehension • Large amounts of time for actual text reading • Teacher-directed instruction in comprehension strategies • Opportunities for peer and collaborative learning. • Occasions for students to talk to a teacher and one another about their responses to reading.

  9. Summarizing Vs. Retelling *Guidelines for Retelling (usually oral) • Put the story in your own words. • Say ideas in the order in which they happened in the story. • Include all the most important events and ideas. • It’s longer than summarizing. *Guidelines for Summarizing (usually written) • Tell the main events of the story • It can be done in four or five sentences

  10. Assessing Fluency • Rate- (words per minute) • Accuracy (% of words correctly recognized) • Fluidity (smoothness/flow of the reading. • Phrasing • Expressiveness *From: Supporting Struggling Readers and Writers Gr. 3-6 by Dorothy Strickland

  11. Literature Circles What are Literature Circles? Literature circles are groups of 4-6 students who each have a copy of the same book and meet regularly to discuss creatively, critically, and in depth the book they have chosen to read. A second kind of literature circle is a group of 4-6 student who are reading a Text Set (A group of books related by theme, author, genre, character, etc)

  12. Other relative topics • Working with expository text • Vocabulary instruction/strategies • Memory Bags • Independent Reading book projects • Genre studies • Literature circle ideas/planning templates • Literacy centers
