    Reading

    The major goal of reading comprehension is to help students develop the knowledge, skills and strategies they must posses to become proficient and independent readers who read with meaning. While reading, a student is expected to simultaneously, mentally interact and construct meaning from the text.

      Release of Responsibility);
    • Encourage extensive and intensive reading;
    • Invite natural discussions that lead to student inquiry and critical
      Thinking;
    • Support diverse responses to text;
    • Foster interaction, cooperation and collaboration;
    • Provide choice and encourage responsibility;
    • Expose students to literature from multiple perspectives; and
    • Nurture reflection and self-evaluation.

    Homework helper

    Writing

    Preschool -2nd grade can learn sentences and paragraphs in the following forms below. I currently teach 6 styles of writing for 3rd - 5th graders:

    • Descriptive
    • Narrative
    • Persuasive
    • Expository
    • Response to Literature
    • Creative

    1st lesson - of each style-how to write a paragraph for the chosen style, homework is first draft paragraph due 1-2 days before class so it can be corrected

    2nd lesson - present draft at beginning of class, receive in-class feedback of how to write the final paragraph, homework is the final paragraph due

    3rd lesson - how to create essay first draft- homework is first draft of essay

    4th lesson - present draft at beginning of class, receive in-class feedback of how to create the final essay- homework is the final essay

    Each level is the same, but a little more advanced. Each unit style is broken down to 4 lessons each. I teach the 5 stage writing process:

    1. prewriting (with mind maps/graphic organizers and outlines)
    2. drafting
    3. revising- They'll learn to apply rubrics and writing traits (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency and conventions).
    4. editing
    5. publishing (portfolios)

    Portfolios can be a shared school Google Drive with folders each student. All teachers can have access to post the final copies of all assignments. The very best essays have the chance to be published! This is optional if you want more writing students. It's exciting to tell students that the best essays at the end of a unit will be published on the school website. To say I'm a published writer in school is good for private school applications, careers and bragging rights. However, this is proof to future parents what their child could learn! And shows how good their writing can be!

    Research papers and argumentative can be time-consuming but good for 5th and 6th graders, if you're interested. The issue is making sure that their sources are 100% credible-peer-reviewed, correct APA citations used etc.
