Reading and Writing Targets: Student's Book Level 2 Virginia Evans, Jenny Dooley
Publisher:

For overall writing We have learning buddies and are paired with student once a week from grade 1 or 2. The finish-me books I use this clear target assessment tool (blank ones are also in this file) to have a look at the students writing and to review with them where they are struggling in writing (beginning, middle end is for grade 3). I think social engagement is most demanding, then writing and high cognitive load tasks and then your other levels. Practie Forever (1-5 days) I made a sample capitalization unit using the story The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Pollaco, since my grade level is planning on using it as our mentor text for our first Unit of Study: Personal Narrative. Write the example on a post-it. Tell them to find (on a page that they have already read) an example of capitalization. Reading and Writing Targets 1, for learners of English at elementary level, provides systematic development of students' reading and writing skill. Have students get out their Reading Workshop Book Boxes. True, occasionally Level 3 is just what I'm in the mood for, but I don't want to make a habit of it, or let myself sink, without realizing it, from Level 2 into Level 3 (which tends to happen within about thirty minutes). Or if you're reading it in a spirituality book club, a Bible study group, or the like, email me for the spirituality one-page discussion guide. The class books are kept in the class library and the students like to 'read' these familiar sentences written by one another.
