For example, when it comes to anxiety and worry, a caregiver could use a picture book that specifically deals with that topic and turn that into an opportunity for a child to share what worries they are carrying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reading aloud is one of the few spaces that checks all the boxes in terms of social, emotional and mental health. For Siriboe, the simple act of sharing your love of reading with your child is bigger than just literacy.

Allowing kids who learn differently opportunities to experience success within literacy can help build confidence and spark that fire for reading and storytelling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every child needs to discover what they like and who they are in the world of a story. If you have a child who loves to paint, you can take them to the museum and have them write down the artists that mean the most to them.

She says helping kids move from a fixed mindset about what they think their reading ability is into a growth mindset is a good starting place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Help reassure your kid that they may not be the great reader they aspire to be yet, but they absolutely can do this. One way to do this is to incorporate aural storytelling into the fold.

Learning console grips helps students develop the hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills necessary to correctly form shapes on a page. He could provide grip tools for pencils or guide students’ hands with his own, familiarizing them with the strokes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During virtual education, he relied on reference materials and parent assistance when available. An adult in the room could help demonstrate grips, steer hands and inform Nahal when additional resources were needed.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the difficulties of offering support remotely, Nahal found that virtual learning allowed him to experiment with new technologies that supported his students with learning disabilities. Speech-to-text\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">technology allowed them to more easily transfer their ideas onto the page. This especially helped his students with ADHD and processing-related disabilities, such as auditory processing disorder or working memory deficits.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech-to-text tools also saved time, which is helpful for students who might forget their ideas once they try to write or students who struggle with getting any words on the page at all, feeling unable to transfer their thoughts. For some, this was because of the intimidation of writing academically, with spelling and grammar anxieties prohibiting them from starting. For others, the time taken to write out initial thoughts caused them to forget later conclusions and analyses, given the lack of immediacy in writing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Coming into the distance learning, I was really worried about these kids. But what I found was through using the speech-to-text feature, they were able to get their ideas on paper. They didn’t have that physical transfer where they had to go and write it out and lose what they were thinking about in the process. And they really evolved as writers,” said Nahal.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of vocalizing their ideas and watching their words simultaneously appear on the screen relieved much of the stress around writing. Students could watch their thoughts fill a page, proving for some that they were capable of doing so. They could then go through and revise their grammar and ideas, correcting anywhere the technology misheard them and getting practice editing their own writing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial skill required of students wasn’t spelling or grammar, but the ability to transfer their ideas to the page. Natalie Conway is a teacher who works with students with disabilities in grades Kindergarten through 3rd at a statewide online charter school in Oregon. She has been teaching online for seven years. She said that specifically identifying which standard is being assessed, and providing accommodations for the standards not presently up to bat, can help make school more accessible for all students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Those accommodations are going to benefit kids who are unidentified (in disability) and who just would enjoy learning that way,” said Conway. “So if you make it available to everyone, it’s not stigmatizing to anyone. And students are going to self-select what’s going to work for them. They know themselves, too, especially the older they get.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Writing is Rewriting\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nahal eventually transitioned his students off speech-to-text, encouraging them to write phonetically in a subsequent phase but with the same initial indifference to spelling and grammar encouraged by a first draft from speech-to-text. Then, once the ideas were on the page, Nahal and his students could comb through their work, updating spelling and modifying their language to meet academic conventions. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Through the process of correcting their work and typing, they’ve become better writers,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He spotlighted spell check as a simple way students could see that they misspelled words, with the automatic underline quickly notifying students of a mistake. That helped make editing for spelling and grammar less difficult online. Speech-to-text technology accelerated his students’ writing skills during virtual learning. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“These gains would have not happened had we been in person. I mean, it would have happened, but not so rapidly in my estimation,” Nahal said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Voice Practice \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conway spotlighted speech-to-text technology as liberating for kids with writing disabilities and fine motor needs. Beyond writing homework assignments, the technology can also be used for quick in-class responses. If a teacher asks all students to put an answer in the virtual class’ chatbox, for instance, a student who might not feel confident in their ability to write their thoughts can use transcription software to still participate. And for chat boxes with microphone transcription enabled, they can participate even more quickly. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It’s giving students independence, instead of having to have a scribe all the time or having to have someone read to them all the time,” said Kathleen Kane Parkinson, a diverse learner teacher in Chicago. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, many students would only be able to practice their pronunciations in a classroom setting. Now, this technology and related technologies allow for pronunciation practice to be incorporated into at-home work. Some teachers, like Parkinson, may choose to continue using some form of voice-recognition software for out-of-class assignments moving forward. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parkinson mentioned, however, that the technology does not yet fully accommodate students with speech and language impairments. The transcription of their speech may not accurately reflect what students said into their microphones, which can cause confusion and frustration. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Repeated Read Alouds\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The related but inverse technology of text-to-speech, also known as read-aloud technology,\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">helped Nahal’s students improve their reading skills. The process of hearing text read aloud ensured that words or lines weren’t skipped, improving comprehension. Students could also highlight new words to hear pronunciations or learn definitions, strengthening vocabularies.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students who might not feel confident reading grade-level material, or who process information better when listening, read-along features for books and articles can be pivotal. Students with attention deficits might benefit from the ability to pause a story to process or take notes, and then press play to resume reading without losing their place.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“[For] kids who might have working memory deficits or trouble recalling information, the ability to listen to something over and over or listen to it as they read it, following along — that can be really powerful,” Conway said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jodi Dezale, a speech language pathologist at Jefferson Community School in Minneapolis pointed to online books as a key resource brought about during virtual learning. The read-along audio feature provided students the autonomy to read books on their own.

Offered on both Google Meet and Zoom, closed captioning can have benefits for all students. It can make virtual classrooms that don’t have sign language translators more accessible for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. Students with unimpaired hearing can also utilize captions as a secondary cue for their minds, allowing for another way to perceive the material. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“You’re pairing verbal input with visual input and it’s just more likely to stick in your brain and make sense to you,” Conway said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to technology is an equity issue.

This offered more students digital skills that may be needed after graduation. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“They’ve got to be computer literate,” Nahal said. “It’s a literacy issue for me.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teachers who work with students with disabilities specifically can supply their students with tools and methods of enabling accessibility technologies that they can take with them into general education classes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“When they’re in, say, a humanities class or a science class, that’s where those tools are going to come in handy.

Sandra Zickrick works with middle schoolers with disabilities. She shared that before virtual education, she would take each student aside to assess their skills and\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">determine where additional support was needed. Now, she can have all of her students complete simultaneous virtual assessments and immediately receive the results, allowing her to spend more class time providing specific support or doing activities with the entire class.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the new technologies learned, a number of students with disabilities preferred learning online. For some, doing school from home induced less social anxiety, which led to increased academic confidence.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attending school from home was less optimal for many students, with many facing challenges of family distractions, Wi-Fi connection issues or an inability to find a quiet place to work. Yet some\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">students were better able to concentrate on schoolwork at home, whether from reduced distractions in virtual school compared to social classroom settings, or from decreased social stress. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online education can allow for greater control over a student’s environment, which can limit external distractors or overbearing external stimuli, benefiting some students with autism, ADD and ADHD. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“A lot of the physical distractors that happened in a building, that happened in a physical classroom, aren’t the same at home,” Conway said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conway also pointed to the ability for students to revisit lectures, to rewind, rewatch and take their time, as another accessibility tool. The more methods teachers offer for students to access the material and demonstrate that they’ve learned it, the more accessible school becomes for all students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When students can select how to best prove their knowledge — be it in an essay, video, PowerPoint, Google Doc or other tool — they not only take agency in their learning, but can unlock new creativity. This creativity will be an asset in higher education and in the workforce, Conway said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“They now have skills to communicate in a variety of ways, collaborate with other kids and be creative and think critically about what they’re doing and how they’re doing it,” she said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The specific tools and technologies a school may take on during virtual education may depend on the school’s location, technology team and budget.

Learning console grips helps students develop the hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills necessary to correctly form shapes on a page. He could provide grip tools for pencils or guide students’ hands with his own, familiarizing them with the strokes. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During virtual education, he relied on reference materials and parent assistance when available. An adult in the room could help demonstrate grips, steer hands and inform Nahal when additional resources were needed.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the difficulties of offering support remotely, Nahal found that virtual learning allowed him to experiment with new technologies that supported his students with learning disabilities. Speech-to-text\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">technology allowed them to more easily transfer their ideas onto the page. This especially helped his students with ADHD and processing-related disabilities, such as auditory processing disorder or working memory deficits.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech-to-text tools also saved time, which is helpful for students who might forget their ideas once they try to write or students who struggle with getting any words on the page at all, feeling unable to transfer their thoughts. For some, this was because of the intimidation of writing academically, with spelling and grammar anxieties prohibiting them from starting. For others, the time taken to write out initial thoughts caused them to forget later conclusions and analyses, given the lack of immediacy in writing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Coming into the distance learning, I was really worried about these kids. But what I found was through using the speech-to-text feature, they were able to get their ideas on paper. They didn’t have that physical transfer where they had to go and write it out and lose what they were thinking about in the process. And they really evolved as writers,” said Nahal.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of vocalizing their ideas and watching their words simultaneously appear on the screen relieved much of the stress around writing. Students could watch their thoughts fill a page, proving for some that they were capable of doing so. They could then go through and revise their grammar and ideas, correcting anywhere the technology misheard them and getting practice editing their own writing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial skill required of students wasn’t spelling or grammar, but the ability to transfer their ideas to the page. Natalie Conway is a teacher who works with students with disabilities in grades Kindergarten through 3rd at a statewide online charter school in Oregon. She has been teaching online for seven years. She said that specifically identifying which standard is being assessed, and providing accommodations for the standards not presently up to bat, can help make school more accessible for all students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Those accommodations are going to benefit kids who are unidentified (in disability) and who just would enjoy learning that way,” said Conway. “So if you make it available to everyone, it’s not stigmatizing to anyone. And students are going to self-select what’s going to work for them. They know themselves, too, especially the older they get.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Writing is Rewriting\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nahal eventually transitioned his students off speech-to-text, encouraging them to write phonetically in a subsequent phase but with the same initial indifference to spelling and grammar encouraged by a first draft from speech-to-text. Then, once the ideas were on the page, Nahal and his students could comb through their work, updating spelling and modifying their language to meet academic conventions. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“Through the process of correcting their work and typing, they’ve become better writers,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He spotlighted spell check as a simple way students could see that they misspelled words, with the automatic underline quickly notifying students of a mistake. That helped make editing for spelling and grammar less difficult online. Speech-to-text technology accelerated his students’ writing skills during virtual learning. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“These gains would have not happened had we been in person. I mean, it would have happened, but not so rapidly in my estimation,” Nahal said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Voice Practice \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conway spotlighted speech-to-text technology as liberating for kids with writing disabilities and fine motor needs. Beyond writing homework assignments, the technology can also be used for quick in-class responses. If a teacher asks all students to put an answer in the virtual class’ chatbox, for instance, a student who might not feel confident in their ability to write their thoughts can use transcription software to still participate. And for chat boxes with microphone transcription enabled, they can participate even more quickly. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It’s giving students independence, instead of having to have a scribe all the time or having to have someone read to them all the time,” said Kathleen Kane Parkinson, a diverse learner teacher in Chicago. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, many students would only be able to practice their pronunciations in a classroom setting. Now, this technology and related technologies allow for pronunciation practice to be incorporated into at-home work. Some teachers, like Parkinson, may choose to continue using some form of voice-recognition software for out-of-class assignments moving forward. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parkinson mentioned, however, that the technology does not yet fully accommodate students with speech and language impairments. The transcription of their speech may not accurately reflect what students said into their microphones, which can cause confusion and frustration. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Repeated Read Alouds\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The related but inverse technology of text-to-speech, also known as read-aloud technology,\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">helped Nahal’s students improve their reading skills. The process of hearing text read aloud ensured that words or lines weren’t skipped, improving comprehension. Students could also highlight new words to hear pronunciations or learn definitions, strengthening vocabularies.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students who might not feel confident reading grade-level material, or who process information better when listening, read-along features for books and articles can be pivotal. Students with attention deficits might benefit from the ability to pause a story to process or take notes, and then press play to resume reading without losing their place.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“[For] kids who might have working memory deficits or trouble recalling information, the ability to listen to something over and over or listen to it as they read it, following along — that can be really powerful,” Conway said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jodi Dezale, a speech language pathologist at Jefferson Community School in Minneapolis pointed to online books as a key resource brought about during virtual learning. The read-along audio feature provided students the autonomy to read books on their own. Tie-in videos from publishers like Scholastic gave students an additional level of engagement for books, encouraging new modes of interaction with familiar images and stories. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“One of the tools that we use to build comprehension is repeated readings of the same thing.

Instead of gathering around the rug or a “lit circle” for a story like they used to do in class, some teachers are gathering students on the “virtual rug” of a Zoom conference call or Instagram Live to continue reading books to them.

A \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/lit.12141\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">recent small study\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> out of England showed that teenagers who had challenging books read aloud to them had greater reading comprehension than when they read them on their own. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back in the 1970s, journalist Jim Trelease found that reading aloud to his own children not only cultivated vocabulary and background knowledge, but also forged a love of reading as a shared family activity. His popular book now in its seventh edition, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/28582/why-reading-aloud-to-older-children-is-valuable\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Read-Aloud Handbook\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, shares research and best practices for both parents and educators.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the book, Trelease goes into detail of all the cognitive and academic benefits that reading aloud to children provides. But it’s perhaps his words on the emotional benefits of what reading aloud does for families and relationships that feels so pertinent in this time of quarantine, isolation and social distancing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We read to children for all the same reasons we talk with children,” Trelease wrote. “To reassure, to entertain, to bond, to inform or explain, to arouse curiosity, and to inspire.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Making an online read-aloud worth watching\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Educators say that compared to many of the other academic tasks moving online, reading books aloud can be relatively easy. It’s been one area that teachers can do themselves just by accessing a few tools on their laptop or smartphone. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Facebook’s page of \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/facebookmedia/blog/facebook-live-for-authors\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">easy-to-use tips\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for authors also provides great advice for educators wanting to do “live book clubs” using Facebook Live. Instagram also offers a tip sheet for\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://help.instagram.com/292478487812558\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> creating an Instagram Live\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as well. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But some educators may want to do more.

The “ball started rolling,” he said, and the video—which was far from polished—was shared more than 3,000 times in the first twenty-four hours. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the video, Paradise walks educators step by step through how to make an engaging video: how to read so their voice can be heard, and how to ensure the pages can be seen. His main message to teachers is to avoid getting overwhelmed by all the tech available, and keep it simple.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re building the plane while it’s in the air,” Paradise said of teachers trying to adjust to online learning. “The advice I’ve taken is from \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.coolcatteacher.com/about-vicki-davis/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vicki Davis the Cool Cat Teacher\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and that’s to integrate [technology] like a turtle: level up each day and learn one new thing, and get great at that.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Resources for read-alouds for all ages\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ripp’s plan for now is “Friday night read-alouds with Ms. Ripp.” She’s going to read her teenagers more \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">picture\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> books in the same style as some of their favorites from class this past year, like \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frybread\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We Don’t Eat Our Classmates\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

Strong reading skills are essential for accessing later curriculum, so teachers put a lot of emphasis on it early. But the pressure and angst of getting students reading on schedule can sap the joy out of an activity that many young children love. At its heart, reading is a way to access stories, which in turn make readers wonder about the world.

Rejent believes that every student comes to her classroom with skills and strengths, but they often don’t recognize them that way. Her first step with a student who states he hates to read is to name what that student is doing positively, as a way to build rapport and help the student see it for himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rejent remembers one student at the beginning of the year who would “find anything else to do besides read.” In her first conference with him she pointed out that when he sat down to read he would find where he left off and then re-read a little bit. The boy mumbled he did that because he couldn’t remember what happened. But Rejent celebrated that reading strategy, acknowledging that all readers do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s almost small little moments you have with readers that then piece together to make a kid realize they can grow,” Rejent said. That boy grew tremendously in his reading ability over the year. He started noticing character development and growth, and began looking across the text to make connections between events driving the narrative. He may not have finished sixth grade reading at grade level, but he’d begun to engage with reading again and had made huge progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These kids come with some amazing ideas, amazing qualities, amazing thinking and we need to value that as educators as well,” Rejent said. “Seeing the positives allow us to build, rather than to fix.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also doesn’t think it’s appropriate for kids to be so aware of their own reading level. “Levels are important for the teacher to know so you know what the student needs to know next, but it’s not something the child should be labeled as,” Rejent said. She continually goes back to the idea that whether a student likes to read or not is often an accumulation of experiences around reading. So she never focuses on the reading level; instead she encourages students to try different strategies and tries to help each learner on his or her individual path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STRATEGIES \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rejent learned many of the approaches to reading she now uses daily from \u003ca href=\"http://www.drgravitygoldberg.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gravity Goldberg\u003c/a>, a former teacher and current literacy consultant and \u003ca href=\"https://us.corwin.com/en-us/nam/gravity-goldberg\">author\u003c/a> who works with the English Language Arts teachers at Westbrook Middle School where Rejent teaches. Goldberg’s approaches are based in research, but focus on how individual children relate to reading. She says often teachers need to shift their role in the classroom in order for students to take more ownership over their reading growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most often teachers spend their time assigning what students should read and how they should show what they read, monitoring to make sure students have done what was asked, and making decisions about what students will do and how they will do it. Those roles make the teacher the main driver of the learning. In order to step back from those traditional roles, teachers have to replace them with new strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a place for those three, but when that’s our main role there isn't space for ownership and to develop that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2015/12/29/beyond-working-hard-what-growth-mindset-teaches-us-about-our-brains/\" target=\"_blank\">growth mindset\u003c/a>,” Goldberg said. She coaches teachers to think of themselves in four very different roles, and to step back from constantly stepping in when students \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/11/15/struggle-means-learning-difference-in-eastern-and-western-cultures/\" target=\"_blank\">struggle\u003c/a>. A big part of that is making it clear that struggle is part of reading, not a unique experience to students learning to read. It’s common to start a book and be confused, or to read a passage and miss something, but teachers don’t often make it clear how universal that experience is, no matter one’s reading level. Rather than being assignors, monitors and managers, Goldberg coaches teachers to see themselves as miners, mirrors, models and mentors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8gY_4PLdWc&w=640&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MINER: \u003c/strong>To understand what is driving reluctance in each individual, Goldberg says teachers need to step back and observe how the student interacts with reading, what they say about their approaches to reading, and how they feel about it in order to understand what particular strategies will move them forward. This might be one of the hardest and most rewarding parts of teaching reading. Students dislike reading for many reasons and different strategies will work with different kids. A student who can articulate what he tried, what he didn’t understand, and what he needs help with is signaling that he’s willing to lean into the struggle. That’s very different from a student who avoids reading altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Goldberg says this more nuanced, personal picture of a reader won’t come from standard reading tests. Instead, it often comes from a student’s word choice, her body language, her process. Fifth grade teacher Gail Cordello says taking the time to observe students was a tough transition for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it was a waste of time,” she said. She wanted to jump in with data from reading tests and start focusing on the deficits she saw in her students. But when she did finally step back and try to notice positives she could give feedback on first, the classroom dynamic shifted in a meaningful way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you flip that, all of a sudden you have kids who are open to you,” Cordello said. She tries to give specific, process-oriented feedback and to stay very positive at the outset of a relationship with a student. Pretty soon she started realizing even her best students were reading because they knew they had to in order to do well in school. But when the classroom dynamic started to shift “they started to do things for themselves and not because the teacher asked them to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>MIRROR:\u003c/strong> This is where teachers can give students growth mindset oriented feedback that calls out the work students put into reading, focusing on the strategies they used and not on the end result. Goldberg says language is very important in this feedback. Even saying something simple like, “I like how you made a prediction,” can indicate satisfaction with an end goal. She suggests thinking about it as a narrative, rather than a label. Describe what the reader did, rather than labeling it. “That way we’re acknowledging the work they put in,” she said.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nMODEL:\u003c/strong> This is when teachers get to show students how to use strategies that may help them improve. It’s the third “teacher move” on Goldberg’s list because before teachers can effectively model, they need to have a sense of the individual reader and to have given feedback on the strategies already in use. But, “if students aren't taking time to preview their book ahead of time, just telling them probably isn’t enough,” Goldberg said. She suggests thinking of it like a cooking TV program by showing students why the strategy is useful and when they might choose to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have our own books and we show them in our books how we go about the process of reading,” Goldberg said. If the teacher recognizes that many students are skipping words they don’t know, for example, she might choose to model what she does when she comes across a word she doesn’t know in a shared reading exercise. She might go back and re-read the sentence, talk through how she can use contextual clues to figure it out, and maybe even look it up. This modeling process not only helps students understand why a strategy is useful, but it also shows them that everyone struggles when reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another important part of modeling is to help students understand how to transfer reading strategies across books. For example, when reading out loud to students the teacher could stop, identify a conflict in the plot and discuss with students how that conflict reflects all the decisions a character makes. Then students can go back to their independent reading books to practice the same strategy on a different book, aiding transfer. If teachers focus too much on the specifics of one book, then students may not naturally extrapolate the strategy to their own reading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JNvFTOP31U&w=640&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nMENTOR:\u003c/strong> When a student is trying to use a new strategy, she might struggle. That’s when a teacher can do a little coaching, like “try reading it again,” or “what other words do you know that have that part,” to help cue the strategy. Crucially, though, teachers aren’t stepping in to do the work for students. Goldberg says when teachers help too much they rob the student of the “learning high,” that exultant feeling after getting something that didn’t come naturally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She acknowledges that it can be very hard to let students struggle, even when teachers know the skill is within the student’s reach. She suggests three tips that work for her. First, she’ll just take a step back. “That little bit of space reminds me it’s not my job to fix it,” Goldberg said. She also might write the struggle down on a clipboard so she can talk to the student about it in a reading conference later. That gives her permission to step away in the moment. Lastly, she suggests naming the struggle. So, for example, “You’re confused about the main idea.” When said with empathy it might give the student a little shove in the right direction without solving the problem for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldberg’s approach to reading instruction works well within the reader’s workshop model because students are reading in front of teachers. When teachers expect most reading to happen at home, it either doesn’t happen at all or the teacher has very little information about how it went and what the student might still need to learn. Rejent only has students for 60 minutes a day, but she’s seen huge gains in reading growth when she can conference with students on reading during class time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But reading in class doesn’t mean student shouldn’t also read at home. In fact, parents can use many of the strategies Goldberg describes for teachers. Reading aloud and modeling the reading process, trying to get at the heart of why a child doesn’t like to read instead of forcing them to do it, letting them choose what they read, these are all good parental strategies that support reading too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>REWARDS FOR READING\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most kids loved stories when they were little, but as they grew up and learned to read the joy and pleasure of the story may have become buried under the stress, or shame, or frustration of reading. When working to build readers back up, Goldberg says she doesn’t recommend \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/mindshift/2017/03/19/why-even-great-teaching-strategies-can-backfire-and-what-to-do-about-it/\" target=\"_blank\">external rewards for reading\u003c/a>.

They read because they get invested in characters, or they want to understand something better, or they want to be able to talk about a book everyone is reading. Reading for children shouldn’t be so different. If rewards are already in place, Goldberg suggests using reading-focused rewards when kids reach their goals.

Now they argue over whether they’d rather have a read aloud or independent reading time.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Learning to read doesn't stop after third grade.

Strong reading skills are essential for accessing later curriculum, so teachers put a lot of emphasis on it early. But the pressure and angst of getting students reading on schedule can sap the joy out of an activity that many young children love. At its heart, reading is a way to access stories, which in turn make readers wonder about the world. In the race to get kids reading, it can be easy to treat reading like a procedure, instead of the complicated experience that it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her ten years of teaching, Courtney Rejent has had many students pass through her classes who claimed they hated reading, but rather than forcing them to read books they hate or making them fill out reading logs to show they read at home, Rejent has taken to heart an approach to reading that is much more relationship-based. Her sixth grade classroom runs on a reader's and writer's workshop model, which means students are doing the majority of their reading and writing in class, where Rejent can help them.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'These kids come with some amazing ideas, amazing qualities, amazing thinking and we need to value that as educators as well.'\u003ccite>Courtney Rejent\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Readers, especially struggling readers, often have this mindset that they’ll never be a good reader,” Rejent said.
