Reading Strategies that we use in our classroom can be found below, along with some of our Reading Quizzes and Readings that we have our students tackle during the year. We also have our favorite list of excerpts from books we have read over the years. Reading outloud by the teacher, as well students is a favorite activity...feel free to share your favorite excerpts from books you have read and shared with your students in the various units you use in your classroom.
Our focus has been to increase reading and comprehension through various strategies, and use them in a way that fits our content and the activities and labs that we do in class.
A few of the books that we read exerpts from include:
The Darwin Awards From Lucy to Language The Hot Zone Silent Spring Napoleon's Buttons Origin of Species Inherit the Wind The Beak of the Finch Guns, Germs, and Steel Cracking the Code The Greatest Show on Earth The Blind Watchmaker On Becoming Human Musicophilia Your Inner Fish
Some New Additions (Thanks KSTF Fellows!): A Sand Co. Alamanac The Odyssey (for Matter Cycling)
