Children read books to learn how to read. It might sound simple but children reading wonderful books is the root of becoming literate. #FPLiteracy

Mabel is supervising the unpacking of the K phonics units at Magill Elementary in Gwinnett, GA! You know you have a supportive principal when she brings in her mother to organize the kits for the whole team! Lucky teachers!! #tcrwp

A3. Demonstration text & teaching notebook or mini anchor chart #LitTorchChat

A2. It is always a struggle keep strategy groups short and sweet. #LitTorchChat

[Kiley Walters @waltersk14]

A1. Strategy groups allow students to work with others that need support with the same strategy. They hear the teaching point, see a quick example, and practice in their own book. #LitTorchChat

‘When reading aloud... create a safe space that allows kids to open up for conversation and to engage around the books you are reading together.’ ~The Transforming Power of Reading Aloud

A3. I always have a recording sheet to record my compliment, teaching point, and next steps. I like to have a mentor text (marked with teaching points), reading learning progressions, and my reading notebook with sample responses. #littorchchat

A2.There is always a fear of not knowing what to teach. We need to take time to research (listen) to the reader and use our teaching tools to support the conference.

A1. Conferring allows us to get to know our students as readers. It gives us a chance to figure out what students need to more forward. #LitTorchChat

A4. Remembering to create experiences for turn & talk and stop & jot during the read aloud. We also need to make time for students to discuss the text.#LitTorchChat

[Kiley Walters @waltersk14]

A3. Code sticky notes with stopping points marked to engage students. It helps if you only focus on 2-3 skills during the read aloud (ex. determining importance & synthesizing). Thanks @RRothmanPerkins ! #LitTorchChat
