5. IRA Position Statement (2007) • “We believe that there is no single method or single combination of methods that can successfully teach all children to read. As a result, teachers must be familiar with a wide range of instructional methods and have strong knowledge of the children in their classrooms in order to provide the most appropriate instruction for all learners (IRA, 2007).”

13. 3 Piece Kits • Create literacy kits using examples from a variety of texts on the same content/subject area: • Narrative text (fiction) • Expository text (non-fiction) • Poetry • Kits can be used for small discussion groups, for SSR, or for take home reading

17. Click or Clunk • Students pair up and take turns reading an assigned text to each other. • After each section of reading, they say “click” if they understand what was read and “clunk” if they don’t. • Any “clunks” need to be discussed and clarified before moving on to a new passage.

18. Genre Gurus • Students participate in discussion groups based on genre not book, Ex: 5 students have read different fairy tales • How did each book fit into the genre? • How are the books alike? • How are the books different? • What did we learn about fairy tales by reading these books? • Students can create a visual/ poster or presentation to share

19. Mastery Goal Pursuit • Cubing (for narrative text with expository text variation) 50 Literacy Strategies: Step-by-step, by Gail Tompkins, Prentice Hall 2008 • Story Grammar for narrative text, Ex: The True Story of the Three Little Pigs • Expository text: focus on text structures, Ex: The Statue of Liberty

20. Mastery Goal Pursuit • KABLOOIE (variation of BANG), Using the 5 pillars of reading: • Phonemic awareness • Phonics • Fluency • Vocabulary • Comprehension www.canteach.ca/elementary/beginning11.html
