The first read is for decoding.
The second read is for fluency.
The third read is where comprehension really starts to emerge.
Repeated reading isnβt busy work.
Itβs how readers build automaticity.

Iβve spent a lot of time in Kindergarten classrooms lately and there is an overwhelming need for more explicit handwriting instruction and practice. The teachers are maxed out with everything they are already doing m but something has to give.

Fluency with Poetry Routine
Day 1: Introduce Poem
I introduce the poem and model the prosody I would use as I read it. I then lead the class in a short discussion about the poem - what itβs about and what is going on in the poem.

Trying to teach without knowing how the brain works would be as much as pretending to design a glove without having ever seen a hand.π§ π±

It is important to understand how a child's brain develops through trauma & adversity & how we support them & meet their needs."It's not about changing the behaviour,it's about healing the brain. Once you heal the brain, then you will see changes in behaviour."π§ π±

"He who does the work... does the learning."
When it comes to explicit and systematic reading instruction having students raise their hands is most likely a strategy that DOES NOT lead to improvement in the reading performance of MOST students.
To make this instructional shift (no longer asking kids to raise their hands to respond) many teachers will require support to understand why, and the alternatives to implement it.
By the way, Ms. Anita Archer is my instructional hero...
