Around 3rd grade, there is a shift from learning to read to reading to learn. While many students may begin to read more for pleasure at this point, comprehension can be significantly affected because of the lack of vocabulary knowledge.
A simple reading intervention in literacy lab, using colored trackers to keep focused on words. “Colored overlays can alleviate visual stress and improve low reading, rate, accuracy, and comprehension” (Evans et al., 2015). @HowellTwpMSN
Tests do not measure everything! 📝Literacy Lab students were prompted to select a word that resonates with them that a test could never measure. Great job ☘️ to these students who carefully selected meaningful words! #SEL@HowellTwpMSN
Engaging students in a literacy- rich environment. Word sorts, informational posters which apply students’ knowledge of text features, and the importance of visualization when reading fictional texts.
Happy New Year! Students make one word resolutions, define, and write why the word is important to them in 2024. A word can be ripped off, if another student needs some inspiration for the day! @HowellTwpMSN
Prepared some quick tips and tricks- finding main idea in a nonfiction text for a 7th grade ELA strategy group! Not an artist, but I always find students appreciate handwriting/ drawing from their teacher! #interventions@HowellTwpMSN
