• Web Site Evaluation Form - Here’s an idea from one of the lessons in my Just-Right Comp Lessons book for teaching students of all ages to evaluate web sites for reliability and credibility. Click here for a form to guide your instruction and their Internet research.
• 5-Day Plan for Using Predictable Charts for Shared Reading - This is a plan that can be used powerfully at kindergarten and first grade to give students a firm foundation in print and language concepts from the beginning. Click here for the 5-Day Plan.
• Information Text Little Book - Here's another template for making Little Books. This one encourages you to teach the text signals that students need to know to be successful at reading. Follow the directions for folding a little book (in this section) and then teach mini-lessons about each of the page headings. Students can hunt for those text signals and list them on the pages provided.
• I Wonder… Bookmarks - Middle school teacher, Joy Dewing, from Kokomo, Indiana, shares this great set of "I Wonder…" bookmarks for use in Guided Reading and Self-Selected Reading.
• Strategies Bookmarks - Middle school teacher, Joy Dewing, from Kokomo, IN, shares this set of bookmarks for students to use as they apply particular strategies you teach.
• Thinking Strategies Bookmarks - Joy Dewing shares these bookmarks that will encourage your students to go beyond the literal level in their reading. These bookmarks can be used to teach students to question themselves as they read or to facilitate discussion between partners or among small groups.
• Five Finger Strategy for Informational Text - Here's a graphic that shows the 5-Finger Strategy for teaching students how to preview informational text. Be sure to model by thinking aloud the processes of making the necessary connections among the elements

Critical Content

Comprehension Monitoring
- Students self-monitor reading to facilitate comprehension

• Be aware of what you understand
• Identify what you do not understand
• Use appropriate strategies to resolve problems in comprehension

Metacognition – “Thinking about thinking”

• Identify where the difficulty occurs
• Identify what the difficulty is
• Restate the difficult sentence or passage in own words
• Look back through the text for clarification
• Look forward in the text for information that might help resolve the difficulty

FLUENCY: accuracy, expression/rhythm/volume, rate/flow

 

READING/THINKING STRATEGIES:
  - Before Reading

• Activate background knowledge
• Setting a purpose for reading
• Predicting text content: infer, confirm, modify, or reject predictions
• Reviewing and clarifying vocabulary

  - During Reading

• Establishing the purpose for each part of reading
• Infer
• Visualizing
• Summarizing
• Confirming/rejecting predictions
• Identifying and clarifying key ideas (think about what’s read)
• Questioning self

 - After Reading

• Assessing if the purpose for reading was met
• Paraphrasing important information
• Identifying the main idea and details
• Making comparisons
• Connecting: connect to text, to self, to world
• Drawing conclusions: Infer
• Summarizing - retell
• Analyzing (Students make judgments and form opinions using explicit information from the reading, fact/opinions)

 

Teaching Text Structures

• Description: characters, setting, events, problem, resolution
• Sequence

GENRES TO WRITE:

• Needs and wants
• Facial expressions
• Body movements and posture
• Gestures
• Eye contact
• Space
• Tone/Volume/Voice
• Time, pacing, rate
• Turn-taking behavior: respectful, relevant responses, appropriate language and vocabulary
• Active listening

 

RESEARCH STRATEGIES:

• Locate and access sources
• Engage in the resources: read, listen, view, touch
• Organize information from sources
• Evaluation:  judge your product
