  1. Chapter 6 When Kid’s Can’t Read by Kylene Beers

  2. “Frontloading Meaning” • Before beginning to read a text with students, it is important to make sure that you are helping students to engage with it before the reading begins. • Beers provides 4 strategies that help students: • Access prior knowledge • Interact with portions of the text • Practice sequencing • Identify problematic vocabulary • Construct meaning before they begin reading

  3. Anticipation Guides • Encourage students to connect to ideas and make predictions. • Allow students to look for cause and effect relationships as they read. • Allow students to generalize, to discuss those generalizations, and explore their own responses to a text. See the original Anticipation Guide that I created for the novel Feed on the next slide.

  5. K-W-L • What I Know • What I Want to Learn • What I Learned • The purpose of the chart is to link the unknown to the known. • This strategy was designed for expository texts, but could be adapted for novels.

  6. Probable Passage • Forces students to think about the characters, setting, conflict, resolution, and vocabulary of the story before they read the story. In my opinion, this strategy seems more appropriate for younger students or with groups of students with difficulties reading.

  7. Tea Party • Students begin to identify possibilities for setting, characters and problems in this text by: • Connecting events to their prior experiences • Sequencing events • Considering causes of actions and their effects • Making inferences The name of this strategy could be renamed. Maybe Tailgating?
