Use Easy Nonfiction to Build Background Knowledge. By: Elaine K. McEwan (2007) A Texas librarian shares his strategy of using nonfiction picture books to introduce new concepts to struggling adolescent readers and to build their background knowledge. Once students have been exposed to academic content in easy reading material, they are more confident in making the transition to textbooks. For struggling readers, the suggestion to read an easy book, as a way to gather background information, is not filled with fear of failure or dread that the reading will take a very long time and great effort as might be the case if the assignment were to read a more difficult book. — Pressley et al. (2005, p. 45) Help all students — struggling readers and gifted students — to let go of the idea that reading easy books is embarrassing. Promoting nonfiction picture books to struggling high school readers may seem like a daunting task, but John has been creative in his approach.

I'm just popping in today to show you how our first day of Author's Purpose went. Since this will be something we discuss from here on out, I am just briefly introducing each topic. Here's a little anchor chart that I made (after about 4 tries... literally). We talked A LOT about the meaning of the word persuade, but the discussion definitely took flight after I gave the example of persistently trying to persuade our parents to buy us new toys. Then, they were ALL over it! We wrote small persuasive letters to our parents.
Some of them were absolutely precious. "I will take the trash out without you telling me to. " "Love and a million kisses from your faithful daughter" We will continue tackling Author's Purpose throughout the rest of the week!

Liberty Immigrants/Immigration It is said that the United States is a nation of immigrants--the great melting pot. Except for Native Americans, everyone in America is an immigrant or the descendant of an immigrant. The early colonists came from England, Holland, and France. Then came Scandinavians, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, and Germans. By the end of the 1800s, Italians, Polish, Armenians, Russians, Greeks, Hungarians, and Turks began to pour into America. Immigrants came for many reasons. People in the United States are descendants of one of the greatest migrations in human history. Sample some of the following activities to learn more about immigrants and immigration.

When students first start school, they need to know key phrases and expressions that they can use to communicate with teachers and classmates during the school day. Being able to communicate effectively with others is key for learning to take place. Through meaningful and fun interactions, students can develop the type of everyday communication skills that facilitate learning.
Teachers can use a strategy called Total Physical Response to help students in these early stages of language development. Learning key phrases through Total Physical Response Total Physical Response (TPR) activities greatly multiply the language input and output that can be handled by beginning English language learners (ELLs). TPR activities elicit whole-body responses when new words or phrases are introduced.
Teachers can develop quick scripts that provide ELLs and other students with the vocabulary and/or classroom behaviors related to everyday situations. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Let's go to the zoo.

How to Use Reader's Theater Scripts Reader's Theater Scripts can be original scripts or scripts based on leveled books. Use the original scripts or the scripts that accompany a single leveled book when teaching a group of readers at the same reading level. Use the multilevel scripts, which contain parts at three different reading levels to match its partner multilevel book set, when you want a single reader's theater script for a group of varying ability. Make the performance as simple or elaborate as you wish.
Keep in mind that the most important purpose of reader's theater is to teach and practice fluent reading of printed text. Be sure to make copies of the scripts for each student. Staging the Play A few dramatic techniques can add an element of flair and fun to a performance. Fluency Practice Passages. Why Use Fluency Practice Passages Fluency is a key foundational skill that helps students read complex text with greater understanding. When students read with accuracy and expression at an appropriate reading rate, their fluency supports their comprehension. Repeated reading practice with short passages improves word recognition and automaticity.
How to Use Fluency Practice Passages Passages are provided from Levels F to Z. Some passages are original fiction or nonfiction text that can be used for one-on-one reading, independent timed reading, or partner timed reading. Other passages have been written to explicitly support the content and vocabulary of a leveled book. Timed Reading Procedures During the reading, resist the urge to correct mistakes.
Follow along on your copy word by word with your pencil. Timed Reading Scoring Count the total words the student reads in one minute using the words-per-line totals listed in the margin.

The Talking Eggs Lesson Plan & Teacher Guide. Explore the Story Create four-door books by folding a sheet of paper in half “hamburger” (width) style.
Open the paper and fold each side to the center to make two flaps. Cut each one in thirds to make six flaps. On the top two flaps, students should write, “Who Am I?” Under the left-hand flap, they write Blanche’s name and, using the web created earlier, list several character traits associated with the girl. Students now label the middle two flaps, “What Happened Before I Got the Eggs?” Finally, the students write, “What Happened After I Got the Eggs?” Follow up by asking students to write a letter to each of the sisters, explaining how they feel about each girl’s actions.
