Information

§ Unit themes support student’s developing schema—a mental web of connected facts and ideas that pertain to a specific topic. Schema can be automatically activated during speaking, listening reading and writing. (Moats & Hennessy, 2010) § Writing to Sources Prompts aligned to Reading Street text allow students to synthesize the new knowledge and teachers to assess the new knowledge. § Begin planning by targeting the reading standard (this is not the only standard to teach this week) that aligns to the main selection text. § With the additional text (Days 1, 2 & 4) provided in Reading Street, target additional Reading Standards depending on the student needs.
