[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@BSkarecky @MollieHolzwarth @MsJohnson220 @SvetsThinkTank A5: Students can review books in the class! Have a template to guide them! This is also a great way for students to take ownership in their classroom as you facilitate their learning!

@BSkarecky @MollieHolzwarth @MsJohnson220 @SvetsThinkTank Reading levels can help student because it reading material at their level. As teachers we also need to be aware of grade levels and provide grade level material to expose them to it #ComprehendThis

@BSkarecky @MollieHolzwarth @MsJohnson220 @SvetsThinkTank A2: a way to encourage effective book shopping is through scholastic book orders. I believe you can also request books for purchase through book fairs

@BSkarecky @MollieHolzwarth @MsJohnson220 @SvetsThinkTank A1: slowly build your library with rich texts. I have found it difficult to find good stuff that is within my budget#ComprehendThis

@AmyASimons @SvetsThinkTank @Maestrameetworl Love your ideas Amy! Great was to celebrate all students of different cultures!!#ComprehendThis

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@MollieHolzwarth @SvetsThinkTank Yes, Mollie! Incorporating culturally relevant material with authors of different cultural backgrounds are some great ideas!#ComprehenThis

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@AmyASimons @SvetsThinkTank @Maestrameetworl Any great ideas! It’s all about knowing your students!#ComprehendThis

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@AmyASimons @Maestrameetworl Amy, I agree with you when you say it refers to traditions, values and morals one develops. Would you say children with the same cultural backgrounds as far as family experiences can have different beliefs?#ComprehendThis

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@StevieMac238 Steven, I agree with you. Question for you: what is included in ones personal experiences?

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

Hi Taylor, I like how you mentioned family, traditions and foods. I agree and believe ones cultural background is made up of many individual experiences of a person.

#ComprehendThis A4) teachers can help students pull main ideas out of the text. Students an use text pictures as well as captions to help them do this.

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

A2) learning comparator and contrast goes beyond the classroom. As teachers we can help students make connections to things they can compare and contrast. Can be on any topic really. Students can compare and contrast cultures sultudents share for example

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@TaylorTorossy @dunkd3_ @SvetsThinkTank #ComprehendThis A3)I like the use of Venn diagrams when teaching comparing and contrasting. It can be used with young students as well as students in the middle grade.

@ManzelloRosario @TaylorTorossy @dunkd3_ @SvetsThinkTank Rosario, I agree with you when you write about not having enough room. It bothers me as well.

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

A4) I like to think outside the box when it comes to assessments. It could be a conversation that we have as a class to check for understanding. #comprehendthis

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

A3) A challenge with informational texts is that it may not be the most interesting of readings, but necessary in order to understand the text. #comprehendthis

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@TaylorTorossy Hi Taylor, I agree with you it scan be difficult. I think as a teacher it’s important to know your students and what’s best for them.

[Lupe Wolske @Lupes_Lesson]

@Arhely11 #comprehendthis A2) I would use graphic organizers, visuals, audio. I think it’s important to use different types of resources to appeal to different types of learners.
