https://padlet.com/ljohnson75/op748mvk4ryy What reading comprehension strategies have you used/tried that just didn't work? en-us 2016-11-08 20:15:02 UTC 2026-02-10 22:21:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Terminator.png ljohnson75 https://padlet.com/ljohnson75/op748mvk4ryy/wish/290080689 I just assigned cold reading without anticipatory sets, assessing background knowledge, or any guidance at all. ]]> 2018-10-07 20:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnson75/op748mvk4ryy/wish/290080689 ljohnson75 https://padlet.com/ljohnson75/op748mvk4ryy/wish/290080998 This is to say: I have assigned reading with a study guide of questions to be filled out (in complete sentences!) and without scaffolding for anyone.
