“FluencyTutor” Could Be A Useful Tool For Students To See Their Reading Progress Richard Byrne posted yesterday about an intriguing new site that would be useful for emerging readers and English Language Learners called FluencyTutor For Google. It’s a web app only usable with a Chrome browser that provides a large selection of leveled reading passages that students can read, record, and store on Google Drive. Teachers can then listen at their convenience and correct and note students’ reading fluency. The reading passages provide quite a few supportive features that make them particularly accessible to English Language Learners. Most of the features are free, but teachers have to pay $99 per year for some “dashboard” services like tracking student progress. If I was teaching an online class of motivated adult English Language Learners, I could see FluencyTutor’s whole package as an excellent tool. However, I definitely wouldn’t recommend a classroom teacher using it as a way to track a readers’ progress.

At least 14 people were killed and 18 others injured when two shooters opened fire on at the Inland Regional Center, a social services provider for people with disabilities, in San Bernardino Wednesday, December 2. The shooters have been identified as Syed Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, who were in a relationship with each other. Motives are still unclear. Every shooting is its own private tragedy for the victims and their families. But events like this are also part of a much bigger problem. The United States has far more gun violence than the rest of the developed world. Australian comedian Jim Jefferies was the victim of a home invasion once. In Australia, we had the biggest massacre on Earth, and the Australian government went: "That's it! He continues with a blistering smackdown of the idea that Americans seek guns to keep their families safe: You have guns because you like guns! He doesn't see at all how a gun would have helped him when his home was broken into. By the way.

Kamratrespons på muntlig text Jag jobbar mycket med egenrespons och kamratrespons på skriven text och men även på lösningar i matematik. När vi jobbar med den skrivna texten jobbar vi med stödstrukturer i form av responsformulär och vi avslutar alltid responsen, både den egna och kamratresponsen med två stjärnor och en önskan som ett sätt att sammanfatta sina åsikter. Under hösten har vi jobbat intensivt med muntlig text. Muntlig text i form av att skapa en radiopodd om valet. Vi har jobbat med att synligöra arbetsgången för att kunna genomföra ett sådant här projekt. Det blev ett bra tillfälle att prata om processen fram till målet. Alla har jobbat intensivt med sina program och vi har nu lagt upp dem på vår klassblogg. Därefter funderade vi på hur man skulle kunna formulera responsen i form av två stjärnor och en önskan. Grupperna som hade gjort programmen tillsammans satte sig ner och började med att lyssna på sitt eget program som de sedan gav respons på. Vad lärde jag mig?

11 Alternatives to "Round Robin" (and "Popcorn") Reading Round Robin Reading (RRR) has been a classroom staple for over 200 years and an activity that over half of K-8 teachers report using in one of its many forms, such as Popcorn Reading. RRR's popularity endures, despite overwhelming criticism that the practice is ineffective for its stated purpose: enhancing fluency, word decoding, and comprehension. Cecile Somme echoes that perspective in Popcorn Reading: The Need to Encourage Reflective Practice: "Popcorn reading is one of the sure-fire ways to get kids who are already hesitant about reading to really hate reading." Facts About Round Robin Reading In RRR, students read orally from a common text, one child after another, while the rest of the class follows along in their copies of the text. Popcorn Reading: A student reads orally for a time, and then calls out "popcorn" before selecting another student in class to read. Why all the harshitude? Stigmatizes poor readers. 11 Better Approaches 1. 2. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
