First let me say to all my readers who were expecting this post yesterday, I am sorry. Yesterday was sooooo busy!
Here is it part 2 of chapter 1 in The Literacy Teacher's Playbook.
In the last part of Chapter 1: Collecting Data the book talks about reading comprehension. Reading comprehension is a big part of my classroom. I know my students are readers no matter what level they are reading on, but the actual question is: Are they understanding what they read?
During this past school year, we have focused on reader response journals. I like response journals, but I feel that the structure of my journals was off. My students could not fully understand the concept and some were not understanding what they were reading. Response journals became frustrating for my struggling students who ended in them not doing them at all. For the upcoming school year, I will track my student's comprehension on a weekly basis using tools from the book. Using running records (on students reading more than one grade below grade level), comprehension test from www.readingandwritingproject.com, and stop and jot activities.
