Happy New Year! In 2016, we will continue to provide four awesome lessons for grades 4-12 each month. This month, we have developed lessons around Investigative Reading. I love this reading skill!
As we head into winter break, we wanted to share some great lessons that you might want to teach this week or use when you return after a long two week rest. If these lessons do not fit in your curriculum, consider other lessons we have developed this school year to teach reading skills.
Charla DeClark is a middle school math teacher at Forest Park Middle School, WI. Charla is a trained LiteracyTA Coach and has been implementing literacy practices in her math classroom since we met her in 2013. Here is an email she shared with me. Please send this to all of your math folks.
We hope you enjoyed our October lessons on Visual Summary. This next set of lesson plans add a close reading skill that will help students summarize argument and informational texts.
Every year there are topics that tend to grab the nation's attention. These topics can be political, religious, social, or cultural. The purpose of this eCoach is to connect you to 10 popular topics in 2015-2016 and show you how LiteracyTA can assist you in developing lessons around these topics.
LiteracyTA's eCoach motivates you with weekly articles on best practices for teaching students how to read, speak, and write about texts. Stay connected to the team. Get inspired. Learn, grow, and achieve with eCoach.
