East Elementary School - Cullman, Alabama
The teachers at East Elementary School at Cullman City Schools in Region 2 are having some powerful conversations about Close Reading. Check out this link to see some of their topics of conversation. Also, if you've never used glogster with your students…it's a very cool way for students to create and publish digital posters incorporating a variety of media. **Note-With glogster, you have to sign up for a 7 day trial…after that they offer the service free to educators. Thanks for sharing, Lindsay Brannon!

Research tells us that the average child needs between 4 and 14 exposures to a new word to recognize it automatically. However, children with reading difficulties need 40 or more exposures to a new word. (National Reading Panel, 2001). In one of the small group lessons pictured below, each student had at least 25 individual times to practice reading new words in a 25 minute lesson. WOW! #explicit instruction
