I will definitely be sharing key points with my teaching team!

I would love to come away with a toolbox of a few things I (and my colleagues) could try right away as we return to school next month. Since it is not realistic to re-write all our reading units immediately, what are some additional things we can do within our units to teach into text complexity rather than reading level? To build BK and vocabulary?
