"High school history has a tremendous obstacle to learning — getting students enthusiastic about reading difficult texts. When I teach World History to my 9th graders, I have come up with a list of 6 common challenges I face when trying teach reading comprehension. Here’s a glimpse into how I meet these 6 challenges and help my students win!"
Beth Dichter's insight:
Vicki Davis shares her insights in working with students on informational text, specifically in history (but applicable to other subjects). The infographic located in this posts looks at six challenges that students may face, and provides insights that you may use to meet them with your students.They six challenges are listed below, with additional detail found in the post. 1. Did the student read the text? 2. Did the student comprehend the text? 3. Where does the student struggle? 4. How can you give meaningful feedback to the students? 5. How can you get meaningful data to help your whole class? 6. How do I align this with standards? Then Davis raises an important question: "So now, how do we meet these challenges and teach nonfiction text, put questions in the text, improve the questions, personalize learning AND align with standards?" She provides the answer by introducing a website that is new to me, Actively Learn. Davis provides a great review of the site and shares what she sees and pros and cons. There is a freemium version and a paid version, so you may choose to try it out and see how it works.

This infographic discusses how audio books may increase students reading scores. The infographic is split into a number of sections: * The Problem in National * The Benefits of Spoken, Sophisticated Language * How Audio Books Help A few of the statistics in this post are below. * Students who don't read by 3rd grade are 4 times more likely not to graduate from high school. * Only 32% of 4th grade students are proficient readers. Many infographics that we find provide evidence but neglect to provide the resources to help us assess the evidence. This infographic provides links to over 20 resources that were used in its' creation. In addition, the website that posted the infographic, Tales2Go, provides audio books for students and provides access to additional resources on their website (http://www.tales2go.com/). Audio books available through Tales2Go are primarily for students in grades K - 5.

How do you explain to students and parents the Common Core standards? If this question is difficult to answer you should check out this post. There are two tools that you may find helpful. The image above shows six classroom scenes showing 21st century skills that students are developing on the left side. The right side shows that paths that students may take based on their skills. There is also a second visual that is designed for teachers. It is an evidence sheet. You may take the sheet and complete two sections. The left side shows what the standards look like in your classroom, and the right side will allow you to share how the skills will help your students succeed in college and career. You can download both these tools as pdf files.
