Description |
Recognizing that the literacy demands that our students now face require their active involvement in their own learning, the author and three other successful teachers have developed a wide variety of ways to encourage that involvement.
This lesson is based on Deb Foertsch's Large-Group Instruction, as described in Sierra-Perry, Martha. 1996. Standards in Practice: Grades 3-5. Urbana: NCTE. pp. 2-25.
Grades 3 – 5 | Lesson Plan | Minilesson
Bright Morning: Exploring Character Development in Fiction
Students work as a class to explore a character in a book they have read by identifying traits and finding textual references to support their choices.
Grades 3 – 5 | Lesson Plan | Recurring Lesson
Book Boosts—one-minute raves at the end of independent reading time—are easy ways to suggest new titles to students, and they act as a way for students to have something to think about as they read.

A Daily DEAR Program: Drop Everything, and Read!
The teacher shouts, "Drop Everything and Read!" and students settle into their seats to read books they've selected. This independent reading program helps students build a lifelong reading habit.
Grades 3 – 5 | Lesson Plan | Recurring Lesson
This lesson describes how small groups of students can plan meetings to discuss what they've read in a "just for fun" book club they've organized—and that they control.
