Tami I am not Briana, but with my second graders this year I first taught the idea of metacognition...thinking while reading and being aware of that thinking. I usually move in to Making Connections, Visualizing, and then Inferring, but it depends on the kids. I think Ellin would tell you

Heather, It is confusing at first...but hang in. Use high interest Read Alouds to model your thinking. During your Reading Workshop, make reference to your RA (read aloud) and perhaps reread a short portion in order to make your teaching point. Then the kids will go back to their own reading

Hi Shannon, I am a first year teacher in a school district in New Jersey. I spend an hour every other day (we are on a six day rather than 5 day cycle) in a push-in situation with two different 4th grade students for language arts. These are both one-on-one situations. When I get there we spend abo

Lori, I have a few clarifying questions to ask. You mention IEPs. Are these Special Education students or do you have IEPs for any student? Secondly, I was adding up the time you spent with the one child. It seemed like at least one hour. Do you do this everyday? Finally, if you are s

Marsha, The 2 students I work with are Special Education students. Our district runs on a 6 day cycle rather than a 5 day week. I spend a hour 3 times during the 6 day cycle with each child. So, I spend 3 hours with each child individually every 6 days. The teachers have scheduled their reading w

Hi Olga, You don't say what grade you are teaching but as someone who has done some textmapping in the past, if you want to do this on the first day of school I would say read the story first, then do a "whole group" textmapping activity with the scroll up on the wall and having student vo
