“We help our students find their voices by believing in them, helping them become academically competent, by encouraging them, and by treating them not as members of a group, but as individuals with unique skills, talents, and passions. Once our students find their voices, there’s nothing they can’t achieve.”
Mary Catherine Swanson

Reading to Learn
Connect to prior knowledge Understand Text Structure Use text-processing strategies (during and after reading)

Reciprocal Teaching
Reciprocal teaching is an instructional approach characterized by an interactive dialogue between the teacher and students in response to segments of a reading selection
The dialogue is based on four processes:
QuestioningSummarizingClarifying Predicting

Distinguishing Between Reading and Instructional Strategies
Reading Strategies are deliberate, cognitive acts learners use to bring meaning to a text.
Instructional strategies are the teaching techniques teachers model and use to help students become more independent readers and learners.

Develop deep content knowledge.
Know content specific strategies for reading, writing, thinking and talking.
Develop habits, skills, and behaviors to use knowledge and skills.
