Students reach a level of automaticity then it is time to introduce a new strategy. I have always struggled with how often to introduce new strategies. Looking at Serravallo's reading strategies book can be overwhelming. If I am overwhelmed I know my students will be. I have went about planning one strategy a day to 1 a week to looking at what my students really need individually. I have never really known when it was a good time to start another strategy. I can see how making sure students are attempting the strategy on their own would be a good time to introduce another one. I also have struggled with how to group kids. Not always looking at level is the best. There are different levels of levels, but grouping by strategy makes the most sense and also makes it easiest when practicing and observing. I like how she asked herself questions about her kids and their strategies and grouped them that way.

Stating goals aloud hold both the teachers and the students accountable and reaching a goal is a proud moment for anyone. I have always set goals with my students, however, I may not have actually shared their goal with them. I always felt like it might be too much for them to take on, maybe put too much pressure on some. Although I have started setting goals with my students in their groups and I have definitely seen the opposite of what I expected. My students have really taken ownership of the goal and knowing the goal has reminded them what they need to be working on. They are very proud when they remember their goal and they remind themselves to reach it. I will continue to set goals and have students ']]> 2017-11-06 22:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154750 jennifersheehan82 https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154752 Miscue analysis is made up of three cueing systems: meaning, structure, and visual. When students use all three they are more proficient readers. Understanding which system students are strong in can help support the area of need. I have done running records for years but have never really used a miscue analysis until the last couple of years. I was amazed at how much more information it provides than a running record and looking at errors. I would like to become much more proficient in doing miscue analysis on my students and be able to quickly and correctly create their goals. ]]> 2017-11-06 22:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154752 jennifersheehan82 https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154753 Fluency has direct links to comprehension, according to many researchers. Looking at fluency looks at students accuracy, expression and phrasing which is a precursor to comprehension. There are a few times when this is the exception. I often overlook fluency and focus more on the miscue analysis and what strategies my students need to work on. I have used word lists to see how many words my students know and I have seen a bug correlation between the number of sight words they know and how well they read. I would like to incorporate more fluency assessments. This will help me make fluency a goal for some and to help my students find just right. It also gives me a good indication as to whether they comprehend what they are reading.]]> 2017-11-06 22:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154753 jennifersheehan82 https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154754 One way to collect data for student engagement is to keep a reading log. I like that she suggests that there could be different reading logs based on the different reading levels. Students in a lower level tend to read the same books over and over and so they could use a tally mark system. Students in higher levels may want to record their reading time, if they have longer texts. I would like to incorporate some type of reading log for my students to keep that would be easy for them to fill out and not be a distraction from reading. ]]> 2017-11-06 22:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifersheehan82/x1fgx8e6lnb7/wish/204154754
