@GraceMarie118 I often think this and I worry that theyll get distracted from the story by pausing/talking in btwn pages #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@GraceMarie118 we meet as a grade team (8 tchrs) to discuss main idea and best places in book for turn&talks and think alouds #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@GraceMarie118 Yes! I read a shared text w my kids 2x a day for 5 days. They often can repeat text back to me by end of week #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@GraceMarie118 @aesuliga yes we have done whole class convos where we try to get scholars to discuss the main idea of the story

@CJBlackett @MelCheck1212 @GraceMarie118 Sometimes I find myself giving it away when I feel like they just aren't getting it #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@aesuliga #5534livechat I agree! Great to get kids talking/sharing their ideas about text. always interesting when led mainly by students

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@MelCheck1212 @gracemarie118 shared text really helps scholars learn and remember some new vocabulary each week #5534livechat #penno

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@MelCheck1212 @GraceMarie118 same! I like to have my kids explain a word so that they use language other kids will understand #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@GraceMarie118 This is why many of my kids struggle w comprehension. I try to pick out vocab during shared text and go over meanings

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@Cjblackett @gracemarie118 #5534livechat I agree I think acting out the words will make students more engaged and excited

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@GraceMarie118 we could be spending more time with vocab. I want to do an important word each morning #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@MsRiemer @GraceMarie118 wow! thats so great that they can talk! #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@GraceMarie118 we do not allow talking during lunch or snack. however recess is when kids can free play! #5534livechat

[Ariel Laifer @mslaifer]

@m_asia_c i agree. it bothers me that my kids aren't allowed to speak during snack/lunch. they need to develop social skills #5534livechat

@aesuliga in K we are trying to teach them how to use pictures to help them and many are still struggling with this strategy #5534livechat
