Check out these great resources from Best Practices Weekly. We hope you are having a great February! *Volume 2, Edition 1 – Building ELL Language Skills through Collaborative Reasoning "English Language Learners can struggle with discussing text, missing out on a key opportunity to build their language and reading skills. In an article for The Reading Teacher, professors from NYU and Western Kentucky University discuss a research-based discussion strategy that has shown promising benefits for all readers and ELL students in particular." *Volume 2, Edition 2 - Using Student Input to Improve Teaching "When teachers strive to improve their practice, they may or may not ask their direct constituents – their students – for input. An article from the Journal of Staff Development details a systematic and researched way for gathering effective student input." *Volume 2, Edition 3 - Context Clue Strategies "Using context clues to decipher unfamiliar words is an important vocabulary skill for any student. In an article from The Reading Teacher adapted from Valerie Ellery's Creating Strategic Readers, activities and best practices are given for teaching context clues." *Volume 2, Edition 4 - Catching Reading Struggles Early "It goes without saying that the earlier teachers can intervene with a struggling reader, the better. In an article for Better: Evidence-Based Education, a Florida State University professor details best practices for catching struggling readers early and turning them around." Have questions?
