I am always looking for strategies to help students increase their reading level. Some of our novels are well below what I know they are capable of. I too, like you mentioned, am very enthusiastic. One strategy might be having local college students come and work with my students (even though Jennifer Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490401661609873820.post-92033682620274595362011-07-13T02:35:00.281-05:002011-07-13T02:35:00.281-05:00thanks for sharing your strategy...

In my tutoring sessions this summer I am having the kids read a passage three times. We time it with each reading...I then have them find the mean and graph it. :) Can't pass up the chance for that mini math lesson.<br /><br />They get so excited to see the speed and accuracy increase.

What a great idea having your son come read with her.

I don't wait for them to come to me. If I see a need, I make time. It might be during group work, centers, or whenever I can carve it out! If even more time is needed, I meet with them regularly after school.

Do you set aside time slots for each student or do you just let them know that if they need help to come to you? I am interested to see, because i believe that individual help is necessary for students sometimes to see improvement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490401661609873820.post-65088038715441155242011-05-31T02:41:27.129-05:002011-05-31T02:41:27.129-05:00I would like to thank you for the efforts you'...I would like to thank you for the efforts you've made in writing this posting.
