When I teach finding S and V, I teach finding S first and then find V. Then I reteach it finding V first and then S. Students find it easier one way or another. I let them choose.

Nice Lydia! Great to give them both experiences and explicit support them with that strategy

Thanks! :)

If a student is below grade level, should teachers read aloud the sentence from grade level passage or have the student read it aloud?

both are good. If it is read aloud, be sure to have it posted so students can see the words. You may need to read it aloud first, then have students read it, then choral read it even before you do the comorehension wor

4-5 For the Spooky Story

I think some of the textbooks have so much information about a topic, though, it’s overwhelming for the kids and they shut down, especially of they are struggling readers..

THe pages are so busy with text boxes and pictures, it’s hard to focus on the text.

Definitely challenging, Joan! Thank you

This supports my theory: I believe HS students should see (and hear) a Shakespeare play before being expected to delve into trying to read and understand the play.

Reminds me of students who are lower readers but can out talk others on certain topics.

Wonder how test scores would change if texts were more relevant to rural students???

I feel like this shows how important it is to provide background knowledge at the beginning of the lesson and to make it relatable for students from the start

For our weekly Anchor texts, in Journeys, I find that student have little knowledge about the topic. I show videos and talk about the topic before we read the text to help them develop background knowledge

makes sense that with prior knowledge they were able to understand the content better

A lot go my students have partial knowledge of things from either family or things they have seen.

I was very surprised that the low reading/high background were so much higher than the high reading ability students with little. I thought they’d be close but less comprehension. Such an important lesson.

Background knowledge can level the reading playing field

I think ‘exposure’ to a lot of thing is important to understanding and making connections.

I once read a book about medicine, but had to look in the dictionary to try and get an understanding… it was hard so I just gave up after a few pages due to a bad headache

I bet it helps or gives them more confidence too, which I believe increases learning as well

Finding those topics that kids know a lot about and giving them texts on those topics… give them success

It really makes sense. Knowing about a topic gives purpose to the reading and helps students make meaning. I have seen this increase student enthusiasm for the topic also (in younger students).

Background knowledge definitely makes it easier for the students to comprehend the text and to engage in class discussions

integrate reading instruction with other content subjects to build background knowledge

We use many culturally relevant novels in our High school English class. The students are more willing to read these books.

It gives me encouragement

This is why thematic teaching was so important. You could hit on so many things, including background knowledge and scafolding.

I like how focused it is for instruction.

One of the Options for today’s assignment is to explore the ReadWorks website.

I’m sorry, my slide is cut off. Can someone help me with the site?

Read Works.org

thank you

That’s cool!

Is it Commonlit.org

yes

I will add those to the Options to choose from for those taking the webinar for credit.
