Strategies
Used:
Comprehension Monitoring- thinking about what students are reading. This strategy helps students become active readers and find a purpose for their reading.
Motivation and self-directed learning- the ability to provide students a choice of materials on individual reading ability levels, as well as materials that connect cross-circular components to peak student interest while enhancing literacy skills.
Procedure for Story Elements Graphic Organizers
Throughout the year, independent reading is assigned for each nine-week period. During that time, the elements of literature is scaffold throughout the various independent reading projects which the student has selected from a list that’s been provided to them, or by teacher consent. Books are based on their independent Lexile numbers and individual interests. *See teacher folder
Procedure for Newsela:
· The teacher will create an account using newsela.com.
· The teacher will assign an article to read for each class.
· The teacher will create individual classes and students’ usernames/passwords.
· Students will log on with their usernames/passwords.
· Students will go to their “Binder”.
· The teacher will instruct students on which article to choose.
· The teacher will then instruct students, individually, on the changing of Lexile numbers.
· Students will read the article (individually/or in stations), while completing the quiz and
writing portion.
