Reading



Our school started a new literacy program this year called Benchmark Literacy. I will keep you posted with links and videos to show our progress.

As a teacher, we need to focus on 10 essential elements of effective reading comprehension instruction that research suggests every teacher should engage in to foster and teach reading comprehension:

1. Build disciplinary and world knowledge.
2. Provide exposure to a volume and range of texts.
3. Provide motivating texts and contexts for reading.
4. Teach strategies for comprehending.
5. Teach text structures.
6. Engage students in discussion.
7. Build vocabulary and language knowledge.
8. Integrate reading and writing.
9. Observe and assess.
10. Differentiate instruction.

Cite Evidence from the Text


In this lesson, the students will learn how to cite from the text by writing it in their own words and referring directly to the story.
