Convocation 2018 with these sweet ladies! #theplacetobe

A3: Using assessment as a tool to help us learn more about our students changes how we view assessment. We should be continually learning more about our kiddos and changing instruction to reflect that. #Kellerliteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A2: the ARR gives more in depth info about each kiddo, and helps us see the whole picture #KellerLiteracy

@LSE_Griggs2 @LSE_JamieSmith Count me in for this convo! This is something I need to work on and want to get better at.

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A1: Running record data gives me a good starting point with a child’s reading level, but can be limiting as it only includes info about level and fluency, and about that particular text. #KellerLiteracy

@MrsMolhoek This baby girl takes up all of my time! I think I’ve only read about 10 pages 😂

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A4: My goal is to expose my students to a wider variety of texts like the first point on p. 126 suggests. I plan on subscribing to a few magazines to help with this and also bring in cookbooks, coffee table books and how to books. #KellerLiteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A3: Next Gen IR looks like students reading a variety of self selected texts, conversational conferences, and high engagement. Students are learning to love to read. #KellerLiteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A2: RA, SR, and GR must all be in place in order for students to be successful during IR. If these components are missing or weak, students will flounder when reading on their own! #KellerLiteracy

Sarah Carroll, second grade teacher at LSES. I’m tweeting from the beach this week with spotty service so I apologize for any delayed responses! #KellerLiteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A3: Teacher language would be a giveaway- is it more specific or guided and open ended? Amount of student reading would also be a big clue. #Kellerliteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A2: Conv. GR can lead to students who depend on the teacher to give them strategies and solutions when reading gets tricky. Students might rely on teachers for answers instead of problem solving on their own. #KellerLiteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A1: “Reading that happens in these groups serves as a dress rehearsal...” (P. 79) This is the chance for students to practice and show us what they know before independent reading #Kellerliteracy

Hi there! Sarah Carroll, second grade teacher at Lone Star #Kellerliteracy

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

@carolesmith01 @kisdlit I love that idea! Might be copying it for my own door! 😊

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

@MrsMolhoek I agree! I love when one series leads to another and they can’t put the book down!

[Sarah Carroll @scarrollLSES]

A4: Finding a series that hooks a child’s interest will help them read a higher volume of books, and in turn help them grow into a better reader. Books that interest the child is key, and series are a great way to keep them interested! #KellerLiteracy
