PRESENTATION OUTLINE
OBJECTIVES
I will state and internalize the 6th grade reading vision and goals.
I will review strategies I can use in my classroom to support 6th graders in reaching the reading vision and goals.
"Kids will read every day and discuss their reading with a partner. They will use reading strategies and record their thinking on sticky notes. They will sit in a comfortable position when they read. They will ask to check out books. They will make text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connections. Kids will escape reality through their books and imagine new worlds. Kids will know 10 authors of color by the end of 6th grade. Kids will recognize themselves and who they want to be in their books." Bernal + Gonzalez Aug. 2014
THE THEORY
- CCSS state that all teachers are literacy teachers.
- Kids need reading support in all classes.
NUMBERS (MR. G'S CLASS)
- 96% of kids are reading below grade level
- 100% of African American students are reading below grade level
- 100% of RSP students reading below grade level
- 78% of kids are reading between pre-k to third grade.
I will grow 2 years in my reading level by the end of 6th grade.
