I label them as fiction and non fiction since my students know this concept. Then I sort them by picture, chapter books and series. #comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A5. Many of my students like graphic novels like Dog Man. Every month we receive the Scholastic book orders and I send them home so that they can find new books to read. A representative from the public library visits my classroom and she recommends books. #comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A4. The students go to the library once a week and they usually choose their books. They usually share their books when they read in the classroom and other students are expose to different books. #Comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A3. It’s important to know the student’s reading levels so that the teacher can provide small group instruction at their level. #Comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A2. Students should learn to choose their books efficiently. One example would be to learn the five finger rule. #Comprehendthis

A1. It’s important to sort books and label the containers so it’s easier for students to find the books they are interested in. #Comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A5. It would depend of the assessment. For content tests, I teach students to refer to the passage before answering questions. For Benchmark assessments, I usually close the book and ask questions.#comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A4. It is important because students need to remember the content they are reading so that they can use it in class and their daily lives. #comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A3. We should teach our students comprehension strategies on a daily basis so that they can practice them and strengthen their working memory. #comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A2. The students should remember the sequence of events. In addition to main ideas and details. #comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

A1. It’s the ability to remember information while doing an activity. #comprehendthis

Hi Meghan, I like the idea of having a Culture Day! #ComprehendThis

[Meghan Moffett @MeghanMoffett]

A4: Teachers can celebrate student differences by providing them with opportunities to share what makes them different! Having a Culture Day can be a fun way for students to share and take pride in what makes them who they are. #ComprehendThis

Hi Mollie, I agree with you. When I was a substitute teacher in a dual language class, the teacher had a student of the month where the student had to make a poster with pictures of their family and their hobbies/ sports activities. #Comprehendthis

[Mollie Holzwarth @MollieHolzwarth]

Q4: I think it is important for teachers to celebrate student differences not just in regards to culture but whatever makes each student unique. I love when teachers have a student of the week. Students bring in show and tell a share what is important to them

Hi Mollie, I agree with you. It’s important to find material from authors that know the culture. #Comprehendthis

[Mollie Holzwarth @MollieHolzwarth]

A3: Some good ways to incorporate culturally relevant material is to choose authors from different cultural backgrounds. Choose text that addresses different cultures and depicts the culture accurately. #comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

Hi Amy, I agree with you. It is important to get to know your students and their cultural background to incorporate culturally relevant material. #Comprehendthis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@Maestrameetworl A3: 1st I think being cognizant of the different cultures represented in your class is important! From there asking ur students to talk about their culture so everyone can learn. Then I would take that info & find relevant text through diff educational resources. #ComprehendThis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

Hi Betsy, I agree with you that it’s important to include texts with different cultures. #Comprehendthis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

Hi Marianne, I agree with you. It influences our background knowledge. #Comprehendthis

[Marianne Grossmayer @MarianneGrossm4]

Q2A person’s heritage does effect their comprehension since it influences their background knowledge and understanding of language. #ComprehendThis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

Hi Amy, I agree with you. Even thought we may share a cultural background, we differ from person to person. #ComprehendThis

[simonsa01 @AmyASimons]

@Maestrameetworl A1: To me cultural background refers to the traditions, values, and morals one develops with or from their families & upbringing. Also understanding that these backgrounds differ from person to person. In turn this is what makes us all unique! #ComprehendThis

[ArhelyBrunton @Arhely11]

Hi Amy, I agree with you. Even though we may have the same cultural background as someone else, it may defer from person to person.

I agree with you. I think Top Hat organizers provide more opportunities to compare and contrast. There is more space to write. #Comprehendthis

[Katherine Smith @dunkd3_]

@MarianneGrossm4 Venn diagrams are a popular tool when teaching compare and contrast. Top Hat organizers, allow students to first look at each item, theme, character, etc separately and "line up" the similarities and or differences in more meaningful ways. It provides more #ComprehendThis
