Estrategias de comprensión lectora: no ficción para lectores de tercer grado

In this ongoing class, we will review vocabulary words related to the text and will read through the short article or excerpt from a story.  We will practice nonfiction comprehension activities such as fact/opinion, main idea and details, summarizing, and locating details to support our thinking in the text.   Students will be encouraged to read parts of the text, participate in shared reading of certain words or phrases, discuss the text, and if time permits write a sentence or two about the text with assistance as needed.  My teaching style is laid back and students will be encouraged and praised when they participate.  

I have many years of experience teaching literacy in small groups, and 1:1, and in a classroom setting from grades 1-4 and I look forward to sharing my love of non-fiction with new students.
