2 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 4:59 PM | Greetings to all our #langchat friends in the NJ and NY area - our hearts are with you! | ||
3 | dlfulton | 11/8/2012 | 5:00 PM | Hi to all from DE. Exposure to print from the very first days of class are key for students to build a foundation in reading #langchat | ||
4 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:00 PM | #langchat One key support is to have excellent questions as comp checks, engagement with the text, support to comp | ||
5 | LauraJaneBarber | 11/8/2012 | 5:00 PM | #langchat hola from north Texas! | ||
6 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:01 PM | #langchat I like to ask all the questions I can - who/what/when/where get us started, but then we need to go deeper. | ||
7 | Marishawkins | 11/8/2012 | 5:01 PM | Hi #langchat! I am looking forward to learning more strategies. | ||
8 | CalicoTeach | 11/8/2012 | 5:01 PM | Hi, all! Glad to join the conversation tonight. #langchat | ||
9 | CalicoTeach | 11/8/2012 | 5:02 PM | @alenord They ask q's in English, or you ask them q's in English? #langchat | ||
10 | espanolbartlett | 11/8/2012 | 5:02 PM | Good evening all! I'm looking for strategies for how to read in class. In pairs? Out loud? What do you all do? #langchat | ||
11 | CoLeeSensei | 11/8/2012 | 5:02 PM | @hidetag Hello from Vancouver - I often have them draw what they are reading...#langchat | ||
12 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:02 PM | #langchat Ask questions that connect to the sts personal lives - builds confidence and comprehension | ||
13 | alenord | 11/8/2012 | 5:02 PM | I like to have them illustrate what they read. And questions in English for lower levels. #langchat | ||
14 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | RT @LauraJaneBarber: #langchat my favorite question is "what do we know about the person that isn't explicitly stated?" Good one! | ||
15 | CoLeeSensei | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | @hidetag we do a variety of post-reading activities that make them want to really understand what they are reading! #langchat | ||
16 | LauraJaneBarber | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | #langchat my favorite question is "what do we know about the person that isn't explicitly stated?" I may overuse it a bit | ||
17 | SraTaylor10 | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | @dlfulton Agreed. Exposure to authentic texts from the get go helps a lot IMHO #langchat | ||
18 | muchachitaMJ | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | #langchat hi from Louisville KY! Reading is key but hard to get kids interested in reading in WL when they hate reading in English. | ||
19 | klhellerman | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | Q1 choose select lines from reading. students act them out as a pre-reading activity. Have class guess which line they are acting #langchat | ||
20 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:03 PM | RT @alenord: I like to have them illustrate what they read. And questions in English for lower levels. #langchat Excellent idea! | ||
21 | Catherineku1972 | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | #langchat My Spanish tch colleagues use books w/CDs as well. Many authentic texts available at different levels. | ||
22 | katchiringa | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | activating interest with pre-reading is key--intrigue them w/provocative question to discuss first, then do rdg #langchat | ||
23 | cforchini | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | Identity cognates! Great for all levels. #langchat | ||
24 | espanolbartlett | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | @CoLeeSensei @HideTag What are some examples? #langchat | ||
25 | WCEPS | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | Educare Preschool: School readiness for at-risk kids. Younger start = better results plus key parenting role. http://t.co/rqwYsR1G #langchat | ||
26 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | #langchat Key to motivation: pique interest by using readings that connect to kids real lives | ||
27 | CoLeeSensei | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | @hidetag A strategy for me is "2 & talk" reading with a partner & stopping every 2 lines to ensure they both are understanding #langchat | ||
28 | SraTaylor10 | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | #langchat I also like to use song lyrics as much as I can to make the reading more fun & pop culture relevant | ||
29 | CalicoTeach | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | @LauraJaneBarber Yes. Having students infer meaning is excellent. #langchat | ||
30 | Marishawkins | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | @alenord I agree! Sometimes questions in English show if they understand or if they are just copying the sentence #Langchat | ||
31 | alenord | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | @CalicoTeach Comp questions in English to really see what they understand. #langchat | ||
32 | Catherineku1972 | 11/8/2012 | 5:04 PM | #langchat I have been using Cle International French books w/CDs. I upload to iPods/MP3 players so students can listen/reflect individually. | ||
33 | LauraJaneBarber | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | #langchat I start out reading with them and model / discuss working around not knowing every word & progress to partners then individual. | ||
34 | alenord | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | @muchachitaMJ I think it is important to give them a scenario to read just as we would a conversation or writing. #langchat | ||
35 | CoLeeSensei | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | @espanolbartlett I wrote about it a while ago..here is one .http://t.co/3CSr5ue3 #langchat | ||
36 | CarolGaab | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | #langchat I give illustrations & gestures that correlate 2 the read. Each std is assigned a word. Show their 'visual' as their word is read. | ||
37 | akilcoyne21 | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | For more difficult texts, use Wordle to get the Ss talking and make predictions about what they are going to read. #langchat | ||
38 | dlfulton | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | students working together to respond to questions or come to inferences helps. every student brings something different to a text #langchat | ||
39 | CalicoTeach | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | @muchachitaMJ Reading can also be short texts like tweets and FB posts. That should peak their initial interest. #langchat | ||
40 | sraoconnor | 11/8/2012 | 5:05 PM | RT @CarolGaab @senoraCMT @placido I will definitly stop by. Are either of you presenting? I haven't looked at the schedule yet #langchat | ||
41 | espanolbartlett | 11/8/2012 | 5:06 PM | @CarolGaab Great idea. About how many words per reading? #langchat | ||

53 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | #langchat Speaking of reading tweets, try http://t.co/wgu8FCgw - students can tweet comments in a closed chat room | ||
54 | sonrisadelcampo | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | I assign gestures/comments 4 certain words & as we read when we say their word Ss stand up & do their action or their lines #langchat | ||
55 | akilcoyne21 | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | Focus on authentic texts to show the real world. Ss can understand a lot when focusing on cognates and word families/connections. #langchat | ||
56 | dlfulton | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | Important to take more cues from our ELA colleagues... I love the idea of progressing from Read aloud to Read Along to Read Alone #langchat | ||
57 | alenord | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | A scenario creates a real world reason to read the texts. Then they perform a Lang task in response. Auth reading a must #langchat | ||
58 | espanolbartlett | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | @Catherineku1972 I like this idea as an "anticipatory" set. Do you have a set form that you use? #langchat | ||
59 | CoLeeSensei | 11/8/2012 | 5:08 PM | @hidetag We set up reading with vocabulary & pictures then into listening and reading at the same time and the next day we discuss #langchat | ||
60 | dr_dmd | 11/8/2012 | 5:09 PM | #langchat Sts like to read their own stories - create comic strips and post them around the room to read | ||
61 | Marishawkins | 11/8/2012 | 5:09 PM | @alenord what are scenarios? Where do you find examples? #Langchat | ||
62 | muchachitaMJ | 11/8/2012 | 5:09 PM | @alenord I agree! It has to connect to them AND relate to what were learning. #langchat | ||
63 | alenord | 11/8/2012 | 5:09 PM | “@CalicoTeach: @muchachitaMJ Reading can also be short texts like tweets, FB posts. That should peak their initial interest. #langchat� YES | ||
64 | SraTaylor10 | 11/8/2012 | 5:09 PM | @dr_dmd definitely! I also like having them be the 'expert' in a new group using what they read with their original group #langchat | ||
65 | akilcoyne21 | 11/8/2012 | 5:10 PM | After reading: Ss ask the comprehension Qs in TL instead of teacher. #langchat | ||
66 | espanolbartlett | 11/8/2012 | 5:10 PM | @CoLeeSensei @HideTag That's what I need to do...I have some pretty standard reading procedures but I need to mix it up! #langchat | ||
67 | CalicoTeach | 11/8/2012 | 5:10 PM | @LauraJaneBarber Stop and Draw is also great to save so later you have visual prompts for retelling story. #langchat | ||
68 | CoLeeSensei | 11/8/2012 | 5:10 PM | @hidetag I think it helps if they know 'why' they are reading. Just because? What will they do with what they read? #langchat | ||

86 | alenord | 11/8/2012 | 5:13 PM | Rather than answering ?s have them read and respond in a personal way. Write a comment, tweet or etc. #langchat | ||
