A6: Model effective strategies of readers/writers & encourage lots of meaningful discussions. Let Ss do more of the talking! #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

@AmandaFaubion Agree! Ts can also learn a lot about Ss by listening in on those discussions #fpliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

A5: Ss learn so much when their eyes are opened to peers different ideas/ways of thinking. Talk is important! #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

@HeratyRyan Yes! They need to know they are being listened to, otherwise why bother?? #fpliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

I think Ss also need authentic & thoughtful feedback so they see that their ideas are valued #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

A4: Modeling effective discussions and teaching Ss to elaborate on their ideas. Also how to listen &respond to others' thoughts #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

@meteachu12 Agree! Ive seen so many Ss give up lose interest when they don't have skills to get past those tricky parts #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

A3: Choice books of different genres and comprehension strategies to ensure they understand what they are reading! #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

A2: Collaboration w colleagues. When Ts have that understanding, we can teach Ss to have authentic meaningful convos about texts #FPliteracy

[Stacey Wharton @MissWTeaches3]

A1: Respect, knowing it is okay to take risks. Get out of your comfort zone. Ts must set that example for our students #FPliteracy
