  1. THE FOUNDATION TO LEARING…….. “Literacy…means far more than learning how to read and write…The aim is to transmit…knowledge and promote social participation.” United Nations Educations Scientific and Cultural Organization Institute for Educations LITERACY: Keepit visual, concrete, and relevant AND KNOW YOU’RE LEARNER!

  2. Assess immediately!! Must know where you are before you can decide where you need to go!! How do you assess students’ ability to read the text and materials that you request? What resources are available? How do you assess reading throughout the year? _____________________________________ ANOTHER NOTE: EVERYONE IS A LITERACY TEACHER!!! Get STARTED…..Assess Right Now!!!

  3. Visual diagrams for vocabulary Concrete poems Cornell Notes 3-column notes Scavenger hunt Countdown to Reading Authentic reading and writing opportunities ______________________________________ TAKING NOTES IS A SKILL WHICH MUST BE TAUGHT SO THAT STUDENTS CAN ORGANIZE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION! DO WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY DOING, BUT DON’T BE AFRAID TO Try Something New!

  4. Use vocabulary to achieve this. Interactive word wall that is easily seen, referred to frequently, and visited by students. Students add unknown words and make a collective decision to remove words once they have been mastered. ______________________________________ THERE SHOULD BE FREQUENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR REAL-LIFE READING AND WRITING!! Take Away a Valuable Idea AND MAKE A LASTING IMPRESSION!

  5. Non-readers • Lack decoding skills • Word Callers • Can decode, but lack comprehension skills • Turned-off readers • Have decoding and comprehension skills, but lack motivation or engagement BASICALLY THERE ARE 3 Types of Readers

  6. WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THEMSELVES: “This is boring and frustrating” “I will misbehave so I won’t have to read” “I will never learn to read for the rest of my life” “I’m stupid, this is stupid, you’re stupid” STRATEGIES FOR THE NON-READER: -lower level books -pre-reading activities -shared reading with partner -text, audio and video tape -Reader’s Theater -re-readings and choral reading -computer programs -art Meet the Non-Reader…….WHAT A SAD, LONELY, AND VULNERABLE PLACE TO BE!!

  7. WHAT THEY SAY: “I can read it, but I don’t know what it says.” “I can read it, but I don’t know the answers to the questions” “I understand more when someone reads to me” STRATEGIES FOR THE WORD CALLER: -model and coach pre-reading strategies -tie learning to comprehension rather than rote memorization -skim and scan -QAR -videos Meet the Word Caller….ISN’T THIS TYPE THE HARDEST TO EXPLAIN TO PARENTS???

  8. What this reader has to say: “Why would anyone want to waste time reading this garbage?” -”I don’t’ see why I have to do this work” -”There is no time in my life that I’m going to need this stuff” Strategies for the Turned Off Reader: -provide choice, variety, and options -technology and cooperative learning -meaningful purpose for assignment -no lengthy assignments..use graphic organizers and graphics -background through video and entertaining teacher read aloud Meet the turned off reader……
