I love this video! Thanks to Mr. Rick and Jenna for sharing your strategies in the classroom, me as a first time teacher I can help and show my young students how fun and interesting learning to read could be, using some examples from this excellent video.

 

 

This is an excellent video to see an effective overview of what teachers can do to make their students better readers.  Both teachers modeled strategies and fundamentals explicitly.  They showed relevant examples throughout the video that will be valuable to current and aspiring teachers.  I will be using this for my students in Teaching Reading and Writing for Young Children.  

Wonderful video! Thank you Rick and Jenna for welcomig us into your classroom so we can learn through watching. Your excellent energy and commitment to students is inspirational. I struggle with the fluency message though. Jenna read the paragraph with perfect speed, accuracy and expression and yet she suggests that her next reading should be faster. Jenna does not need to work on fluency. Speed is a critical factor with comprehension and should be a target goal for some students with slow, laborious reading but perhaps not all students. Thoughts from others?
