I can see Kinders and first graders really loving to do this. I used to do "read across the classroom" when I taught first grade. The kids would walk around the classroom and read what was up on the walls. Hunting for specific words in books sounds like a fun activity that will help kids cement words automatically in their brains. Although I teach 5th grade, I can see that I might be able to do a variation of this activity with some of my challenged readers.Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581896401346275394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832826169850289386.post-5892847724482070422017-03-13T05:51:26.567-07:002017-03-13T05:51:26.567-07:00I'm also thinking about it for writing groups....I'm also thinking about it for writing groups. Looking at the pictures in a wordless picture book and using that to tell the story, then write the story might be good for some people who have trouble with structure and organization or keep them writing when they have no idea what to write about.

But I'm loving hearing all the ideas and this book club is going to be great in motivating me to do more! <br />I really love your own classroom examples for both strategies 1.5 and 1.6!

I agree here...Goal 1 is all about exposing your students to print...and why this is important right out of the gate! And to those who have responded for modifications that upper grade teachers can apply to these strategies...THANK YOU!

Goal 1 in the Writing Strategies Book is called "Composing With Pictures". This would make a nice tie-in lesson. Students could tell the story with someone else's drawings, then tell a story with their own.

This is brilliant!<br /><br />It is so sad how some people don't value reading at early ages. As a teacher, we can definitely tell which students have literature rich environments at home. I just wish all my students had that opportunity.<br /><br />One of my favorite strategies in this section is Characters Do, Characters Say as well. As a 4th grade teacher, I use this one a lot with all levels of readers.<br /><br />Amazing insights Kit!

I have grade 2 and grade 3, and I have 1.8 (Express the Emotions) marked for use in my class. I am looking at this chapter now and realizing that some of the strategies match up with things later in the book. 1.8 and 4.3 (use a "This in interesting!" voice) are similar, but are for readers at different places in their development. <br /><br />I love your back to school story too. Not having access to literacy experiences really is a barrier for so many kids. Lucky it isn't an insurmountable one!Lisa Corbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602428975643562609noreply@blogger.com
