I want to make sure that each student understands that by close reading and summarizing the article they can raise their level of comprehension and their lexile level.

# data[].attributes.body
Each activity allows the student to increase vocabulary, reading stamina, and comprehension while allowing them to achieve at their own lexile level.

# data[].attributes.body
The activity portion could be used for practicing comprehension and teachers can help students to optimize those skills by teaching them strategies for comprehension.

# data[].attributes.body
Answering the thought question provides students with the opportunity to go deeper by defending their poll answer. It also allows the teacher to go in and give specific feedback to the students

# data[].attributes.body
The article interactive components allow me to direct students to honing skills that benefit their meta cognition. This is helpful with STAAR due to the rigor and relevance of content knowledge. Love Rubrics!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
The articles will come in handy when we begin our Essay Bootcamp Unit and we need a variety of formats when we are immersing them in expository texts.

for background knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
going through all steps of the lesson follows Blooms. The activity applies their knowledge from their schema and what they just read. The thought question allows students to justify their thinking/learning. Through teacher response, we can extend their thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading poll allows students to understand how as readers/thinkers we have to sometimes adjust our thoughts about a subject based on the facts that we read.

# data[].attributes.body
Students highlighting text evidence during reading of any text is a strategy that is very difficult for them to do. The summary box after highlighting is very useful when completing the thought question or writing an essay.

# data[].attributes.body
For the Step 4 and 5-- instructional purpose to reflect on reading and provide evidence as a base to engage class discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 2 we want students to practice strategies (annotating, writing in margins). Step 3 I can support with test taking strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
Vocabulary knowledge rating - students list their familiarity with the word and focus on words they're less familiar with

# data[].attributes.body
I love the strategy lessons.  It provides you with the objective and then you can locate the story which correlates with the lesson.

Like how kids can go back in article and also use vocabulary to help understanding

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the articles are level based and the students are able to gain points even if they are on a lower level. The opportunity to summarize during the reading is very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1 Before Reading Poll is important because it activates their schema and gives the the opportunity to connect with the article

I like step 5 thought question, it allows students evaluate what they read

I think step 1 is very important to get students engaged with the text and set a purpose for their reading

# data[].attributes.body
I like step 1 because you can activate and connect to their prior knowledge and get them ready to read the passage. This can help motivate them to want to read.

# data[].attributes.headline
I like step one because kids get to activate prior knowledge.

I think that step 1 Before Reading Poll is key because this is where you can spark student interest in the reading, diving into the reading with a specific task - to find out more about what they agreed with and/or also seeing the opposite side and their reasons to support their stand.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 2 BeforeRreading

# data[].attributes.body
Step 3 is important because it familiarizes students with how questions are asked and how to look for the answer.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1 is beneficial to introduce the topic and cover vocabulary. I can also support by modeling during the Step 2 Article.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 4 is important because it allows students to reflect on their opinion after reading the article. I can support this by modeling thinking aloud during the though question.

Nice to have one tool for teachers to track student progress.

Learning about this tool and would like to use it in the classroom to move students forward.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that students are able to read articles on their level and earn incentives while doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that students can do the 5 step routine at home.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the poll feature, that students have the opportunity to share their opinion on the article that they are reading. I think it is beneficial that they get to voice their opinion both before they read and then after.

# data[].attributes.body
Really like the kid friendly instructional video. Also, some of the answer options required an explanation of why you agree or disagree rather than simply selecting a, b, c, d.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the program goes through steps and the students can earn points depending on how well they do.

# data[].attributes.headline
The kids feel "grown-up" reading articles online -- and they love earning awards with KidBiz.

Our students struggle with summary . I found a great graphic organizer that would help with organization and evidence. (Key points)

# data[].attributes.body
Vocabulary routine and practice - four corner vocabulary
Have students use this sheet as they work through Kidbiz and new vocabulary words arise.

# data[].attributes.body
I use "key points" graphic organizers for students to list the 5 most important details after they highlight supporting details as they read.

# data[].attributes.body
Venn Diagram - great for compare contrast across genres. The doc is also editable and can be used for a variety of activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Before reading activates prior knowledge.
Thought question Helps them summarize

# data[].attributes.body
Step 2: IP - allows students to practice analyzing and interpreting text. Action: encourage students to take notes, ask questions, and higlight evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
Before Reading Poll:  Is used to get them thinking about the topic.

I could discuss the topic with them beforehand and help them to understand what we are looking at before we read the article.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The poll question would be easy to support in class. It is quick  and a great way to activate schema
2. I like using the stretch article to have students support their stance with evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the video I think it would be a great way to introduce the kids to kidbiz

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the video tells and models how the students are supposed to interact with the program.

I would like to use this data to further drive instruction and RTI

Prior knowledge is basic for understanding.
Increasing vocabulary for bilingual kids is the most important part.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1 - Prior knowledge, anticipating text | Discussion, vocabulary
Step 2 - Read and interact | model for students
Step 3 - Monitor comprehension, review data, pre-teaching question strategies (test taking strategies)
Step 4 - Check to see if prediction is correct (did you find new evidence from content)
Step 5 - Formal writing piece, set expectations for citing text, referring back to article | Providing feedback and opportunity for revision
