  13. DIRECTED READING THINKING ACTIVITY • DRTA • Small group of children (8-12) • All reading on same level • Good story • Teacher plays role of facilitator: asking what do you think will happen next? • Child Predicts, Reads, and Proves

  14. Variations • Directed Listening Thinking Activity • K-W-L • Paired reading with written predictions.

  15. Reading in the Content Areas • Make sure you have text the children can read (library books, dictations, multi-level sets of books) • Match your instruction across all curriculum areas with the new SOLs. • Connect reading and writing.

  16. Read with a child, taking a running record. Tape record his/her reading. Mark the errors and determine his/her reading level. Make sure the child can read the text you will use for the DRTA or KWL activity. Include the running record in your submission, with your markings. Practicum Assignment Step 1 Step 2 • Select a text that you will use with the child (fiction for a DRTA; non-fiction for a KWL) • Conduct the lesson

  17. Step 3 • Write up a one-page response paper that includes the following: • Opening paragraph about the running record, how it went, what you learned, and define the child’s reading level here also. • Briefly describe the DRTA or KWL you conducted. Did it go as planned? What was the reaction of the child to the activity? What did you learn? What would you do differently next?
