This assignment helped me realize the different reading strategies out there. I know I will be using some of them in my classroom--particularly the one about mapping out ideas after reading. I think this will empower students with a new way of solving problems if they are allowed to draw and visualize what they are thinking. Keeping up with these strategies is a great way for us to stay fresh and be professionally ready for the challenges our students bring. I really appreciate having this activity. Now I know where to go for more ideas and information when I need it. My favorite one actually lists a strategy for pre-, during and post-reading: http://www.paec.org/david/reading/general.pdf
I agree. I think these strategies will be very useful this coming year and every year after.

ReplyDeleteI agree. These strategies will enhance our reading knowledge and be more prepared for our classroom full of diverse students.
ReplyDeleteAs math teachers, we're always looking for problem solving strategies that our students can use. It's such a difficult concept for students to grasp and I'm glad we got the chance to see that there are many strategies out there that we can apply in our content.
ReplyDeleteI can tell that just by reading the strategies that they will be useful in the classroom.
