Download or read book Are They Really Reading written by Jodi Crum Marshall and published by Stenhouse Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often the poorest readers learn that if they keep quiet during sustained silent reading (SSR), they're doing okay--no reading required. This is especially true in middle school where class sizes are large and instructional emphasis is on content rather than reading. In Are They Really Reading?, Jodi Crum Marshall discusses how to find out if your students are using SSR time wisely and what to do about it if they're not. Her book describes how to support middle-grade readers who need it the most, while embracing a research-proven need to increase independent, self-selected reading time for students. Jodi shares lessons and anecdotes from her classroom and from her experience as a reading specialist implementing her model schoolwide. She expands the traditional concepts of SSR to include read-alouds, writing, and accountability to scaffold struggling middle-grade students. Bolstered by these additional supports, Jodi's students dramatically increased their interest and ability in reading through a program they named Supporting Student Literacy (SSL). Classroom teachers will appreciate the clear direction on how and why to implement an SSR program. Administrators will appreciate the guidance for establishing a schoolwide literacy block that substantially improves student motivation and learning. Are They Really Reading? answers the following important questions: Why should I start an SSR program? How do I build a classroom library? Where do I get funding for books and other materials? How do I prepare the students for SSR? How do I motivate students to read? What is the role of the teacher? How do I assess SSR? If you don't currently use a sustained silent reading program, this book will help you get started on the right track. If you worry that some of your students aren't really reading during SSR or if you want to enhance your program, here is a roadmap that is instructionally sound and flexible enough to fit your students' needs.

Download or read book Making Connections in Elementary and Middle School Social Studies written by Andrew P. Johnson and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Connections in Elementary and Middle School Social Studies is based on the idea that students learn more and are more motivated to learn when they are able to connect their own knowledge, observations, ideas, imagination, and emotions with the content at hand. This book demonstrates how personal connections can be incorporated into social studies education while meeting NCSS thematic, pedagogical, and disciplinary standards. It is written in a very direct, reader-friendly style. Each chapter describes a variety of practical strategies and creative activities that novice and experienced teachers can use to make social studies more interesting and to help students make meaningful personal and academic connections. Each chapter contains a wealth of classroom strategies, pedagogical techniques, activities, and lesson plan ideas that can be used to enhance learning and make lessons more interesting, active, and student-centered. The book covers the three types of standards that elementary and middle school teachers work with as they teach social studies. o Thinking Ahead questions invite the reader to reflect on his/her own experiences, as they relate to the material covered in the next chapter. These can be used as discussion points for a class or small group, or simply as pre-reading prompts to enhance comprehension. o Teachers in Action boxes contain real life narratives from practicing teachers. These cases are designed to expand upon key issues presented in each chapter. Every case is accompanied by the author′s personal reflection on the case. These reflections are intended to give the reader an opinion against which he/she can measure his/her own reactions. After each case, the reader is prompted to think about the narrative presented and think about the way that his/her reactions compare with those presented by the author. o Go There boxes provide links to Web sites that offer additional resources for teachers, lesson plans, and other activities to enhance a social studies classroom. This text is accompanied by a dynamic Instructor′s Resources CD. The CD includes classroom video footage that can be shown in class to illustrate the concepts presented in the book and stimulate class discussion.
