How Do I Write a Great Thesis Statement? How Do I Interpret a Graphic?
The answers to those questions and many more are in 100-Plus Reading and Writing Strategies, a new collection of methods and activities that the author, ELA teacher Kristina Janeway, uses to help students successfully bridge instructional and learning gaps. Includes word comprehension, interacting with various texts, questioning skills, testing strategies, sentence building, and basic writing skills.
100-Plus Reading and Writing Strategies is divided into six sections:
- Reading Strategies
- Spelling and Vocabulary Strategies
- Sentence-Building Strategies
- Writing Strategies
- Literary Glossary of Terms
- Glossary of Rhetorical Terms and Techniques
The Reading, Spelling and Vocabulary, Sentence-Building, and Writing sections are structured into a “For the Teacher” instructional page and a “For the Student” handout or organizer that corresponds to the activity. Handouts are reproducible.
Activities have step-by-step instructions for a suggested lesson as well as alternative implementations or extensions to enhance the activity and allow more use as a student gains academic strength in the area of concern.
