Every time I assign something and a student asks "Is this for a grade?" At first I get kind of annoyed. And then I remember that WE did this to them. It's not their fault--they've adapted to our broken system of carrots & sticks

To continue to build our understanding, we made text-to-text connections to better understand the BIG ideas of the texts. We will apply this process of monitoring comprehension and building understanding as we move into text clubs after the break!

Great idea! #DSBNreads

Adapted a book sampling activity from the amazing @ReshmaSomani for our book clubs. Students will read summaries, listen to audio samples, and read a few pages before making their choice.📚

Love those AQs! :) #DSBNreads

I also use this with teachers in my @YorkUedPL Reading AQs.



Exploring how to using coding the text to read deeply so that @1GRTeacherinSix Ss can understand what they are reading and turn new information into BK. Today I modelled the strategy using @Newsela article. @smokeylit @schan_tdsb @TDSB_DavisJPS
