@VDVReading @TanyaEMcDonald @MsFrevertVDV I’ve had the BEST coach/teacher. Thank you @VDVReading for all you have taught me! 🤍

Students who are reading in a language they are still learning may benefit from additional scaffolding to support comprehension.

1. Chunk — Divide the reading into manageable portions.

2. Stop for discussion — Give students frequent opportunities to discuss the reading with their peers.

3. Pause for drawing — Have students do something with the reading such as draw or act out a scene.

4. Read together — Pair students to read with a buddy, read together as a class, or have the class echo read.

5. Use L1 — Leverage students” full linguistic resources including their first language.

I promised to provide how I organized the decodable library I built. Here are the downloadable labels, pictures of how to set the library, and a key if you specifically use Express Readers!

@EliseLovejoy This looks absolutely incredible! I dream of having a decodable library like this one day in my classroom!! @VDVReading has been kind enough to share the books you sent her with students in my class and they absolutely LOVE these books! I can’t thank you enough for writing these!

Throughout the week we have been talking about the different uniforms people wear to work & yesterday our very own CAPTAIN came to our classroom dressed in his uniform! We had so much fun learning about what police officers wear & what they do! 👮‍♂️ #allin4theville

[Nicole Anderson @MsAndersonVDV]

We love carpet games in A6! Throughout this activity, we strengthened our counting skills & our ability to differentiate between small, medium & large! We also revisited the different features of the clothes we wear & practiced waiting & taking turns! #allin4theville #preschool
