Nothing encourages deep, joyful comprehension more than having someone to talk to about what you read. This is as true for children as it is for adults. Through experiencing other perspectives, students learn new entry points for understanding text; and by participating in ongoing partnerships and book clubs, they have valuable opportunities to direct their own learning.
Research shows that reading comprehension “floats on a sea of talk (Britton, 2005).” In order to provide enriching, engaging instruction online or in person, it is important to provide children with opportunities for 1:1 dialogue with teachers, as well as student-to-student conversation around books.
In this 4 session, virtual mini-course, Dan Feigelson will:
- provide a practical, step-by-step approach to conducting one-on-one reading conferences with students, both online and in person;
- discuss strategies for establishing book club and partner routines;
- suggest ideas for balancing this more independent work with end year expectations and standards;
- recommend routines for supporting book clubs and partnerships once they are up and running.
