@ACasimirSiar A7: I'm a language learner and I teach language learners. It helps to connect with my kids and understand their frustrations when they struggle in reading in the language they are learning That way, I know how to help them. #TCRWP #GED8053

@ACasimirSiar A3:By having them in small groups and teach them how to identify sounds and combining them into syllables. #TCRWP #GED8053

[Helene Ananou @AnanouHelene]

@ACasimirSiar My language immersed first graders pick 4 books in the target language to read independently every week. So I will say at least 4 on their own. They read and reread the ones they love. They change or ask for help for the ones they do not like. #TCRWP #GED8053

[Helene Ananou @AnanouHelene]

@ACasimirSiar A1: By making reading fun. Using strategies such think on you feet, theater, and by setting up a reading environment that is welcoming and comfortable for all kids. #TCRWP #GED8053

@KellyKillorn A5: Learning more. Finding fun ways to engage and motivate reluctant writers. #GED8053

@KellyKillorn A4: By implementing the writing strategies I've learned in my classroom as practice. #GED8053

[Helene Ananou @AnanouHelene]

@KellyKillorn I might say that it is an engaging way to get students to develop writing strategies that they can use at their own pace. #GED8053

[Helene Ananou @AnanouHelene]

@KellyKillorn I've used the Box and bullets for our unit on "our school community." Who works in the community and what are their titles and names? #GED8053

[Helene Ananou @AnanouHelene]

@jennahohenstei1 @KellyKillorn I like the Box and Bullet too. It's very engaging.
