    This article, I found on www.lauracandler.com explains how one teacher with limited resources for chapter books, downloaded a Kindle app to all the computers she has available to her classroom and pays the Kindle price for a book and it can be pulled up on all those computers... at the same time. She even uses it as whole group hooked up to her projector.

Thanks for sharing your personal memories, Erin. I have deeply fond memories of my mom reading to us as kids, and doing different voiced. If you ask me in class, I'll share my favorite!

    Reading Comprehension Strategies Based on Strategies That Work by Stephanie Harvey and Reading With Meaning by Debbie Miller Book Report Forms. I love this site and have used it often in my teaching career. My favorite section of this site is the reading section. The reading section has resources on early, emergent and transitional readers, book reports, story maps, reading checklists, task cards and discussion cards and much more. This site is certainly worth checking out.

    In this longitudinal study, 852 students from high-poverty schools were given a supply of self-selected books on the last day of school for 3 years. Students in the treatment group performed significantly better on the state reading assessment than most students in the control group.

    This is an important study, and related to the article Brett shared in terms of students selecting books of interest to them.

    OK- so maybe this is a stretch for extra credit, but even if it isn't worth any extra points - still cool to share - hopefully all you "real" teachers unlike myself know about this!  Any k-12 student that reads 5 books gets 2 for 1 pricing on tickets plus no ticketmaster fees - yay for sports and reading!
  • Linda Clinton on 24 Mar 12
     
    Not a stretch at all, Gina! The whole idea is to share what you find. If its new to you, it's likely new to someone else. In my case, it was a good reminder! :)

    Although different opinions grumbled both sides in this article, I think it had a large nugget of truth attached to it.  For the last three years, a pilot program in NYC were taught to read using this Core Knowledge program.  Although a bit more complicated than this explanation, the Core Knowledge Program means that students primarily read non fiction books of their choosing in schools while teachers would conference from desk to desk with the students.  The study said it was most pronounced in kindergarten, where students that were apart of the study scored five times higher than those peers who were not apart of the study.  Note: it did not say what was on this brief reading test given to both parties.
  • Colleen Fell on 23 Mar 12
     
    This New York Times article focuses on students reading non-fiction, especially in content areas other than English. The studies show that students gain reading achievements higher than students who did not have this program in place. I think that nonfiction reading has taken a back seat, and students should learn how to read informational text. Newspapers, lab preps, and the like need to be expanded upon and used more in the classroom. Nonfiction reading is another great way to get boys interested in becoming active and engaged readers. Not to pigeon hold boys as total nonfiction readers, but I feel that many boys become tired of just reading fiction book in the English classroom, and content area reading is a great way to strengthen male students reading skills and attitudes.

    The disclaimer below the title is exactly what you will find - even though I want to teach secondary, this blog has a ton of resources for teaching math and science through literature.  I never knew cute books existed that combined reading and math for young kids.  I have fun scrolling through the math and earth science tabs on the right side of the page.  I even wrote down a few titles to purchase for my daughter and me at home - after all, I really need a break from Umizoomi!

  • research has demonstrated that access to self-selected texts improves students' reading performance (Krashen, 2011), whereas no evidence indicates that workbooks, photocopies, or computer tutorial programs have ever done so
  • If school principals eliminated the budget for workbooks and worksheets and instead spent the money on real books for classroom libraries, this decision could dramatically improve students' opportunities to become better readers.
  • Studies of exemplary elementary teachers further support the finding that more authentic reading develops better readers
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • struggling readers typically encounter a steady diet of too-challenging texts throughout the school day
  • remediation that emphasizes comprehension can change the structure of struggling students' brains.
  • to enable the brain to develop the ability to read: It takes lots of reading and rereading of text that students find engaging and comprehensible.
  • he intensity and volume of high-success reading, that determines a student's progress in learning to read
  • exemplary teachers were more likely to differentiate instruction so that all readers had books they could actually read accurately, fluently, and with understanding.
  • Writing provides a different modality within which to practice the skills and strategies of reading for an authentic purpose.
  • Time for students to talk about their reading and writing is perhaps one of the most underused, yet easy-to-implement, elements of instruction
  • Research has demonstrated that conversation with peers improves comprehension and engagement with texts in a variety of settings
  • better outcomes when kids simply talked with a peer about what they read than when they spent the same amount of class time highlighting important information after reading
  • When students write about something they care about, they use conventions of spelling and grammar because it matters to them that their ideas are communicated, not because they will lose points or see red ink if they don't
  • This high-impact, low-input strategy is another underused component of the kind of instruction that supports readers
  • simply requires a decision to use class time more effectively.
  • eliminate almost all worksheets and workbooks
  • ban test-preparation activities and materials from the school day
  • no studies demonstrating that engaging students in test prep ever improved their reading proficiency—or even their test performance

    Slideshare by Emily Kissner gives good explanations of various text structures, and why they are important to teach to students. Also included are examples of books which can be used to teach the structure.

    Thank you for sharing this! I often struggle with explaining these concepts to my team's content teachers. Perhaps this would help me to outline the text structures they most frequently provide to students and how best to teach them.
