"When children are struggling, often the gap between their instructional levels and the grade-level benchmarks cannot be closed by only using traditional guided reading and strategy lesson small-group approaches alone."

No one has ever invented a better standardized test prep program than independent reading. Thank you, @Scholastic.

Ask kids, “If there was a basket in the classroom library made just for you that had books you’d love to read inside, what would the label on that basket be?” @ClareandTammy #ncte18

“Warming up is important—oral rehearsal helps to make our stories better.”

Tip for K-2 teachers: Create opportunities during morning meeting to allow students to storytell.

A10: Have families make a family name chart at home! Have them post on Seesaw for me to see and to use at school as well. #UOSP

[Kim Brooks @kimbkinder]

A9: Read sight word poems as a warm-up to shared reading. Give students poems in book bins/baggies. Have them use highlighting tape to highlight snap word in poem. #UOSP

[Kim Brooks @kimbkinder]

A5: Put alphabet chart in their writing folder so they can refer to it. Also, put on table book bins so they can read it. Laminate and make dry erase so you can plan games with it. Have them find letters that start with a certain sound/name, etc. #uosp

@RebeccaCronin2 Rhyming dust bunnies is one of my FAVORITE rhyming books!!

[Kim Brooks @kimbkinder]

A2: My word wall is magnetic so students can come and take words off the wall as needed. #uosp

[Kim Brooks @kimbkinder]

A1:Kids names are the first words on our word wall. Study each name, count the letters, syllables. Helps build community and letter knowledge. #uosp
