Continuum of Literacy Correlation with CCSS. If you haven't purchased this book, then you need to.
If you have purchased it, you need to take a look at this website to see how the authors have correlated the book to the CCSS standards. I just found it so I haven't even had time to print it myself! I would say both of these fall under the category of 'must haves' in teaching. Common Core Classrooms: Text Features Chart. We are working on non-fiction text and graphic features so I made a chart for students to use during their independent reading.
Each day, we will look at two text or graphic features on the promethean board and then while they read their books, they will fill in the corresonponding sections we worked on with the title of the book and page number they found an example of each feature on. They will also write how it helped them while they were reading. Just click on the image to download your copy! Head over to my blog for more ideas by clicking my button below! Progress Monitoring vs. monitoring progress. The term 'progress monitoring' has been floating around now more than even since the introduction of Response to Intervention (RTI).
I attended a Title One Summer Institute three years ago (by @Beth Ware) who distinguished the difference between Progress Monitoring {big P, big M} and monitoring progress. Although the two may seem synonymous, Progress Monitoring is the formal intervention/documentation piece of the larger RTI puzzle where we assess students using CBM's (Curriculum Based Measurements) to show whether or not the intervention we are using with the student is working, and where Progress Monitoring is used as formal documentation of students working in Tier 2. We collect a baseline CBM score, we determine a goal, draw an aimline and collect weekly or bi-weekly data from the Progress Monitoring CBM probes.
This type of documentation of Progress Monitoring can be done on paper, similar to the Otter Forms {also called Kid Talk forms} we created here at Lake Myra. Hotmail - ltdisyummy.

I'm Sally from Elementary Matters, and I'm thrilled to be guest blogging on Conversations in Literacy! Athletes warm up for an event by doing easy exercises to get their muscles ready. Musicians warm up their instruments. Singers warm up their voices. Don't you think readers should do some warming up as well? I always start reading groups with a warm up. I do this for a few reasons. The warm up should consist of something that is easy for the readers.
The other part of the warm up routine: don't stop until the teacher says stop. There are several materials I use for reading warm up. It just so happens, I have a reading warm up freebie for you! These can be cut into individual phrase strips, or simply read as they are on the sheets. Click HERE for your freebie! (Linkup closed) Latest post: Turn the Music Up!
Daily 5/centers. Reading CCSS. Phonics. Sight Words. Comprehension. Fountas and pinnell text level goals. Launch Lessons: anchor charts etc. The Mitten/brown bag book club. Years ago I was lucky enough to attend a Linda Holliman workshop.
It.was.AWESOME!! She is such a hoot and her ideas are SO inspiring!!! While she was explaining a few different ideas to us, one of them really got my attention. She talked about how her kids would complete a readers/listening response on a lunch bag and then she’d fill the bags with popcorn and have the kids partner up and share what they wrote. I LOVED that idea!!! Here’s a little peek at this week’s Brown Bag Book Club…our first of the year!! So here’s how the book club works… Choose a story to read at the beginning of the week. The kids held on to their paper bags until this afternoon {Friday}. Once they had their popcorn, Brown Bag Book Club was in session! I gave the kids about 3-5 minutes to discuss each question and then have one group share their thoughts.
I plan on having the Brown Bag Book Club meet every Friday afternoon. Drops in the bucket workbooks. READO homework.
