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!
