POCA Reads Reading night happening now. Families are having fun celebrating our book#PocaPreK5

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@michvoorhees I think you were smart for not doing logs. It isn’t authentic Ps say they just sign it. We need to focus on creating the desire and love of reading Then Ss will want to read at home

Q6. I think some teachers hold on to the same things because it is easier and safer. They fear failing and don’t want to try a new strategy or text. It is also easier to pull out plans you have done before. I love mixing it up. Otherwise it is boring #DLT21_DT3

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@MsTothsClass @English_Tchr101 I like your thought on this. You’re right not all students read a book the same way.

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

Q3. Starting a year with a common read helped us set routines and procedures for small groups. We all read the same book, but our interactions with it were different as were my scaffolds. If doing a common read students need time to choose books for read to self #DLT21_DT3

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

Q2. I think there is a time and place for both. I have used both in my classrooms, sometimes simultaneously. Having choice is important especially when it comes to reading. #DLT21_DT3

@michvoorhees I love this too. They need to learn to respond and react to their reading but still love to read. I can’t wait to try some of these ideas in classrooms.

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@michvoorhees Totally agree. We want them to live those books. I carry many stories around with me for years. Love when a book does that.

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@SarahUMoore @MrsInnerb @English_Tchr101 I agree Sarah about a great use of time.

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@porscheteacher3 @English_Tchr101 I have asked that question too. It makes me sad. We need real books and real readers.

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@MallaryMcevoy @English_Tchr101 I think we have created that type of reader M. Hopefully we can change that mindset and make them more responsive. It takes a village.

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@English_Tchr101 #PCPSChatDL Yes! I have seen it with my LLI students reading the nf text. Reading about people from past or other cultures and their struggles they relate and feel for them.

@English_Tchr101 A4: I think I have been quick to be sucked into fake news in the past. However, recently I have made a conscientious effort to pay attention to details in the articles to determine if it is true or not. I think we owe it to our students to teach them how to be savvy about this

[Beth Fortune @readingcoachmom]

@MegEllis1215 @English_Tchr101 I need to come check out a book discussion. Again soon. Let me know when you have one planned.
