In schools across the country, a new reading regimen is taking shape—and it replaces general skills like “finding the main idea” and “summarizing” with deeper learning of content knowledge. edutopia.org/article/it-time…

Is it Time to Drop ‘Finding the Main Idea’ and Teach Reading in a New Way?

Some schools are changing the way they teach reading—based on research that shows background knowledge is more critical to comprehension than general skills like ‘finding the main idea.’

5th grade students honored the recent Lunar New Year holiday by reading nonfiction texts about related customs & traditions, drawing Dragons, and learning to write a traditional greeting. Sharing diverse cultural customs is so important! @mbernal_DrB @fernbrooknj

Good idea for a choice board
Katie Novak@KatieNovakUDL9 Jul 2023
Peer feedback is most effective when it is focused and comes with clear guidelines. A choice board, like this one below helps to provide students with a sense of agency. Make a copy to make it work for you! bit.ly/3XLdUIY #StudentLed #Feedback

Begin 2nd sem w/a focus on building community! Here's a collection of conversations starters. Dedicating 3-5 min to these quick convos at start of class, group work or discussions = students feel more comfortable sharing their ideas! docs.google.com/presentation… #edutwitter #edchat
