  Key Ideas

  • Students learn by reading, noticing and engaging.
  • If working with a class, use an enlarged copy of the text to anchor the group confidently in knowing where to look.
  • Watch to make sure your students are

  Seeing like a reader! = Training their eyes!

  Hearing like a reader! = Training their ears!

  Thinking like a reader! = Training their organization of thought!

  Believing, “I am a reader!” = Training their belief in self.

  • The reading that is done in whole-class lesson is transferred to independent opportunities and literacy stations.
  • Students get their own copy of the text after reading it together for a few days!
