Burnaby District Literacy – Page 6
 

I really like Jennifer Serravallo’s reading conferences.  Click on the link below to watch.  Here’s what I like:

  • the students are all reading different books that they have chosen. (choice is key!)
  • the students have built their stamina to be able to read this quietly – this doesn’t happen right away – we need to explicitly teach it and goal set with our students to achieve this.
  • the conferences are strength based.  She is noticing what each reader is doing well, and is setting goals for each reader based on where that learner is.
  • this reading block is differentiated.  Students are working on different things, based on where they are in their learning.
  • a love of reading is being nurtured in this environment, and isn’t that what we really want, at the end of the day?
