Two Quick Teaching Methods To Grow Your Readers and Writers Faster

EPISODE 08

Two Quick Bursts of Teaching to Support Your Learners in Practicing Reading and Writing Strategies

Let's talk about 2 super quick teaching methods that you can use after you start a conference or small group or you can just do these methods all by themselves. These 2 quick bursts of teaching will help you teach writing and reading strategies.

I bet you have some learners reading and writing above grade level, below, and everywhere in between. Am I right? You’ve got a whole mix of different levels or abilities going on in your classroom or homeschool. 

With just a few weeks left of school, I want you to end the year with excitement and feel so good about everything you’ve done to help your learners grow as much as possible as readers and writers. I also know when the end of the year comes, the school day can start to feel a little crazy with:

  • End of the year assessments
  • Student goal setting and reflection for the summer and next school year
  • Report cards and communicating progress to parents
  • Class Celebrations
  • Packing up materials and supplies
  • Extra recess or indoor play time

 

All of these things can take you out of your normal conferring and small group routine. But All Things Are Possible teacher friends. You can still make a BIG impact and support your readers and writers even in the last few weeks of school. And these 2 really quick methods of teaching that I’m about to share with you don’t require any planning up front. You can just do them on the spot and they don't take a whole lot of time. Which is exactly what you need as you end a busy school year.
