A4: Writing boils down to communication. There is power in oral storytelling. Allow students to tell their stories through pictures or voice recordings. #NCTEchat #LitBankStreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A3: Find ways for students to share their writing with the larger community. Partner shares with other classes in the grade/read their reading to younger children/make posters around the school promoting recycling, kindness, etc. #NCTEchat #LitBankStreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A2: Model how adults use writing in our everyday lives - make sure your students see you write. Ask students to share writing that their grown-ups engage in (this could even be integrated as a morning meeting share) #NCTEchat #LitBankStreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A1: Something as simple as integrating a written reflection on learning can easily be applied to any course! #NCTEchat #LitBankStreet

A8: Kids love using technology and having choice. Create vocabulary books in Book Creator on the iPad - as kids encounter unknown words while reading, they have a menu of ways to choose from for them to document words and their meanings #G2great #litbankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A6: Tell stories. Talk WITH not TO children. Encourage them to tell their own stories and describe the world around them. #G2Great #LitBankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A4: Get learners curious by demonstrating the power of words. Poetry is a great genre for this as much is said with fewer words - the words pack a punch. #G2Great #LitBankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A2: When reading one-on-one with a child, stop and ask questions if I think they might not know a word. Try to make connections to their background knowledge. Invite them to ask questions. #G2Great #LitBankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A1: Be curious about words. I don’t want them to just skip over words they don’t understand when they’re reading - I want them to stop and think, use context clues, and ask questions. #G2Great #LitBankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A8: modeling independent reading and talking about the reading we do in our own lives #shelfietalk #LitBankStreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A5: Leave time for kids to share with a partner. Take turns reading pages and sharing their favorite parts. #shelfietalk #litbankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A4: Share all the COOL things you've learned from books. Get kids excited about the fact that they can experience so many different and interesting things through books. #shelfietalk #litbankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

Q3: Help them understand who they are as readers so they know how to choose books for themselves. Help them discovery the joys of reading. #shelfietalk #litbankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A2: Give students choice not just regarding the books they read but WHERE they read - privacy shields, book nook, pillows, rug, etc...anything cozy and comfortable. Make it feel like the kids are getting "me" time in the classroom. #shelfietalk #litbankstreet

[Liz Malone @liz__mal]

A1: It is naturally differentiated time that allows students to dive into books that match their interests and to practice all the skills they have been learning during instructional time. #shelfietalk #litbankstreet
