Description

Have you ever glanced at a piece of mail and known exactly what it was without reading the full text? That skill is part of your schema, the experiences you’ve had and inferences you can make to give meaning to text. Reading is a skill that encompasses far more than phonemic awareness. Learn how to guide your gifted students to create dynamic meaning from their readings.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn to:
  • Understand gifted students’ unique social and emotional needs
  • Teach students to draw from schema and text to create meaning
  • Use running records to hone in on reading problemss

  1. laurie – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I loved the ideas for guided reading with GT students

  2. Heather – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    No matter how long we teach guided reading, it is always good to be reminded of things we might forget in the middle of a crazy day at school. I very much recommend this PD. Just as Jennifer Leal encouraged us to set a purpose for reading with our students, she modeled that in her presentation; her purpose in teaching us about guided reading, she presented purposeful objectives which were clearly presented and met.
