An afternoon session building on the morning's co-taught class as we introduced journals to guided reading groups in a 3/4/5 class.

2. Learning
IntenAons
• I
have
a
plan
to
collaborate
with
someone
in
the
classroom.
• I
have
a
plan
to
try
a
different
strategy
or
sequence
that
focuses
on
literacy
and
engagement.
• I
have
a
plan
to
conAnue
to
ask
the
quesAons,
”How
is
what
I
am
doing
supporAng
the
learning
of
all
my
students?”
and
“How
do
I
know?”

3. Great
idea
from
COMOX!
Buddy
Reading
• In the “Read to Someone” chapter of the Daily Five,
student reading coaches are encouraged to ask if
their reading partner would like, “time or coaching?”

4. Hand-­‐held
Strategy
Cards
• Using hand-held strategy
cards the listener or coach
has an active role …
flipping through these
little cards the coach must
determine which strategy
best fits the current
context and be ready to
share it should their buddy
ask for coaching.

5. • Making sense and decoding strategies are literally in
the hands of our students!
• When reading with younger buddies, these cards offer
important review for our older students.
