Goal

To foster a love of reading through evoking meaningful, engaging read aloud material to motivate students and support learning of vocabulary, figurative language, comprehension, non-fiction text connected to science and social studies. 

What will be done with my students

As a virtual learning community, I will model reading as well as provide a slide show of the said text for students to refer to as needed during reading and learning also to align with state standards. Research shows when students read or listen to text, the reader or listener draws on several interactive knowledge sources to make meaning (Anderson, 1994) including comprehension strategies. Furthermore, learning is a social activity, it is important for us to allow social collaboration as a part of our instructional practice (Baker et al., 2000; Guthrie, 2004). Students are learning how to ask and answer questions based on key details of a text as well as collaborating with peers. Partners collaborate through asking and answering questions throughout the week together as we dig deeper into the text using close reading strategies. 

Benefits to my students

-follow along in a virtual setting
