What will be done with my students

Students will be able to use these resources individually, in pairs for collaboration or in small groups at the teacher table. Other resources will allow them to have a visual representation of the skills being taught.  

 

Benefits to my students

During small group, the effect of the reading cubes and task cards is two fold: Social & Behavioral -These resources will promote conversations based on the reading assignment. This interaction facilitates peer learning. Language - Answering questions about their reading can help students focus attention on what they are learning and help them think actively as they read.

The posters and reference charts will provide visual representation of skills being taught. They will be able to use these tools to guide them through completing assignments independently.

Teachers will be able to use the 3 minute reading assessments for a quick snapshot into how a students' word recognition, fluency and comprehension are improving.
