Writing Longer Reading Responses: Taking Jots to the Next Level

Listen

Description

Your students are reading independently.

They are reacting to the text and jotting their thinking down on post its.

  1. A student comes to you and says..."I've finished my book, now what do I do with all these post its?"
  2. You see another student’s independent reading book and notebook full of post its and sticky notes are falling all over the classroom floor.
  3. You see another student throwing those little treasure pieces of reading thinking in the trash can after finishing a book.

Whether it's student #1 or #2 or #3, those post-it notes need to find their way into stretching student thinking about the text.

These are clear signs that it’s time for these readers to take their thinking to the next level...

It’s time to move onto longer written reading responses.

Here at Literacy Treasures, I LOVE to talk about reading and writing and share with teachers all that I've learned about what it takes to build strong readers and writers. I have immersed myself in the -research of Lucy Calkins, Jennifer Serravallo, Stephanie Harvey, Debbie Miller, Carl Anderson, Gay Su Pinnell, Irene Fountas and so many others.  Every resource, strategy, tool, minilesson and teaching tip that is shared on Literacy Treasures is rooted in this research.
