Becky Dukes – Literacy Coach

2. Professional Learning Goal
1. I can provide effective instruction based
on K-2 common core standards for
literary/informational texts and speaking
and listening by using strategies learned at
today’s session.
2. I can provide effective instruction on K-2
common core standards in mathematics by
designing instructional activities using the
Mathematical Practices outlined in the
CCSS.

3. Warm-Up Activity
Number Line 1-10 – on Post-it Note
Write your name on the back and think about
your level of comfort with the Common Core
Standards in terms of the number line.
Place your Post-it Note on the number line
between 1 (lowest) and 10 (highest).

8. Research
Interactive writing allows children to use literacy
and language. Children develop their
competency with oral language, reading and
writing as they participate in interesting
experiences, express their ideas, and build a
shared set of understandings. The process is
carefully guided by a teacher who is aware
that students are learning in many ways at the
same time (McCarrier, Pinnell, Fountas, 2000).

9. Morning Message/
Interactive Writing
Morning Message is interactive and by participating in The
writing of morning message, students learn...
• Writing is speech written down
• Proper letter formation
• Upper and lower case letter recognition
• Associating letters and sounds
• Left to right progression
• Differentiate between a letter, a word, and a sentence
• Reading of common sight words
• Spacing Punctuation
• To look for patterns within words (word families)
9

10. 8 STEPS TO INTERACTIVE WRITING
• Provide active learning experiences.
• Talk to establish a purpose.
• Compose the text.
• Construct the text.
• Reread, revise, and proofread.
• Revisit text to support word solving.
• Summarize the learning.
• Extend the learning

Sometimes we match . . .
Sometimes we just write!

14. Interactive Read Aloud
“Reading aloud is the foundation of literacy.”
Don Holdaway
Reading aloud to children has been shown to be “the
single most important activity” in building a
foundation for learning to read. (Adams, 1990)
14

15. A Definition
According to Fountas and Pinnell, Interactive
Read-Aloud is “A teaching context in which
students are actively listening and responding
to an oral reading of a text.”
---The Continuum of Literacy Learning, Grades K-
2. 2. A Guide to Teaching, page 163.

Aloud Framework

17. Modeled Reading:
Read Aloud / Think Aloud
• Determine the purpose
• Select the text
• Rehearse the reading
• Plan opportunities to model your process of
reading, comprehension, and fluency
• Read the text stopping to think aloud
• Discuss
17

18. Interactive Read Aloud ~Foundation for expansion of oral language,
opportunity to stimulate deeper thinking, and broaden knowledge on the
craft of writing. Purposefully planned out ahead of time!
• Thinking out Loud
• Teacher thinking visible
• Window into reader’s mind
• Stop/Reflect
• Models metacognition
• Turn & Talk
• Children and their Thinking Partner engage in sharing ideas
• Model the thinking, ask a ? or prompt, then student talk.
• Approximately once in every 5 minutes (ensures full engagement)
• After 20-30 seconds of talking, begin reading again as cue.
• Stop & Jot
• Sticky note or Reader’s Notebook
• Prepare ahead of time ~ supplies
• 1st time model, then release
• “Writing Longer” ~ provide critical thinking and higher level
