I need some strategies! When I introduce a text I use choral reading and whisper reading to guarantee students actually read the text. After an initial read, we go back and annotate to understand the text better. However, I feel like I do all the work. The class doesn’t seem to be thinking about the text. There is a lot of yawning. It’s like they are just waiting to write down what I tell them to. How do I get kids to think about what they are reading? How do I get them to do the work?

Does anyone have any recommendations for mentor texts for writing (3rd grade)?

Can a principal ask a teacher to use some of their planning time to write late students tardy slips when they get to school every single day? Keep in mind this is the only planning period the teacher gets and it’s only 50 minutes long.

Suggestions on tools to use to pre-assess grammar reading and writing skills-6th graders

What is your favorite online site for grammar instruction ?

So what is everyone using to teach GUM skills (grammar, usage, mechanics)? Would anyone be interested in something like a no nonsense, logical progression, keep it simple program that addresses standards, ACT skills, and common writing issues? We’re presently piecing things together from several sources. I’ve had requests from former students and colleagues to put something together. I haven’t seen anything that has everything we need in one place.
