In the past, I have started off with phonemic awareness and letter ID/sound. I'd like to build more of a foundation with focusing on the visuals (within books) and the storytelling piece. I specifically liked Lesson 1.2 The Whole and Teeny-Tiny Details, although doing a picture walk is often a common part of a guided reading lesson, I love the nuanced detail of this particular strategy. I tend to hurry through this part of the lesson, waiting to get to the meat so to speak, but I think there is value in slowing students down here. Noticing teeny-tiny details along with the whole, really builds a nice foundation for using non-fiction text features in later grades, which are so important to helping comprehend the topic. Lesson 1.7-Act It to Storytell It gives students the opportunity to show their comprehension of what they are reading. I love the idea of having them use their own words to talk like the character. Since I work with many ELL students, I find that vocabulary acquisition is usually developing along side of their literacy skills. I'm looking so forward to having this book by my side this year, I can already tell it's going to be an invaluable tool! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096017809772285135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920778030360224948.post-18604254359400248392015-08-04T11:10:56.621-05:002015-08-04T11:10:56.621-05:00Many of us at my elementary school have done group...Many of us at my elementary school have done group book studies with Jen's other great books and we're really excited about her latest!

I do not teach emergent readers; therefore, I found this section full of insight. I, too, skimmed the strategies for now, but am glad to know where to go to find them. Thanks for hosting this study!

Thanks for commenting. :) I definitely agree the "strategies at a glance" pages will be a great guide when planning for students and the visuals very supportive for my visual learners. I, too, am a visual learner! Even though you teach older students, Goal 1 has a handful of strategies older readers could benefit from, so definitely take a look. Yes, treat the book like a menu, not a meal! ;) Thanks for joining in the book study thus far. We hope you continue to follow along. Best wishes this upcoming school year!Colleen Noffsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918152158762439928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920778030360224948.post-48636877424454374912015-08-03T07:01:41.323-05:002015-08-03T07:01:41.323-05:00When I first opened the book, I felt overwhelmed! ...When I first opened the book, I felt overwhelmed! There is so much here. I like the phrase you used: Treat it like a menu, not a meal. I love the "strategies at a glance" pages in each section. They will be the most useful for me in terms of being able to find what I need quickly. I like what Jenn says about creating a visual to go along with the strategies. I am a visual learner, so this really resonates with me. The little pictures would definitely help me remember what to do. I teach older students, so I was going to skip this "emergent readers" section, but I think I will go back and skim though it. The "linger finger" strategy would be helpful to some of my students still working on fluency. Lisa Corbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602428975643562609noreply@blogger.com
