A BALANCED APPROACH TO LITERACY
• Students should be engaged in reading a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts and writing every day.
• A Balanced Approach to Literacy includes a focus on varied reading, vocabulary, grammar and conventions, comprehension, writing, speaking, and thinking skills.

ALIGNING YOUR LESSON WITH THE
COMMON CORE STANDARDSHTTP://WWW.ISBE.STATE.IL.US/COMMON_CORE/PLS/LEVEL1/PDF/ELA-STANDARDS.PDF
• Common Core Standards are clear statements of what students should know and/or be able to do.
• Illinois has adopted Common Core Learning Standards.
What Common Core Learning Standard Focused Upon Literacy Can You Incorporate into Your Lesson?

LITERACY STANDARDSToday, we will focus on the following three Common Core State Standards.
CCSS.ELA.Literacy.RH.6-8. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary specific to domains related to history/social studies.
CCSS.ELA.Literacy.RI.8.2: Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas; provide an objective summary of the text.
CCSS.ELA.Literacy.RH.8.7. Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, as well as in words) in order to address a question or solve a problem.

VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENTStudents will be able to determine the meaning of new vocabulary words encountered in the text.

Tips for helping students understand new words:
Different levels of word knowledgeUnknown Initial Partial FullWord Recognition Word Knowledge Word Knowledge
When you encounter an unknown word:• Utilize context clues • Look up the word
Vocabulary instruction:• Immerse students in words – read, talk, listen• Explicit word instruction – multiple experiences• Word-learning strategies• Develop word consciousnessTompkins, G.E. (2013).

A few MORE tips:
• Words introduced in meaningful units will be remembered better than words learned in isolation
• Intensive study of key words (meaningful, essential to unit) in an instructional unit is important. Words should be displayed.
• Pick no more than 10 words per week/ unit.• Include both academic and high interest
words.• Display vocabulary words.

FOCUS ON COMPREHENSIONIn order to successfully comprehend material, a student must:• Have enough knowledge/skills to comprehend the material;• Be motivated to read/learn;•Know (and UNDERSTAND) the purpose (goals).
To support reading comprehension, you must:1. Plan levels of comprehension support.2. Provide scaffolds for challenging passages.3. Teach reading comprehension strategies.

SUMMARIZING & SUPPORTING DETAILS
• Students will be able to identify the main idea of a text.
• Students will be able to find supporting details from the text.
• Students will be able to infer meaning by using their own knowledge plus information in the text.
![Page 17: Beyond Worksheets: Literacy Tools for Thinking Kids in Grades 5-12 Kelly Vaughan, PhD Purposes of the workshop: Analyze Common Core State Standards related](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052708/5a4d1b547f8b9ab0599a897b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A few ideas to organize your thoughts DURING reading: • Post-It Note response: Use post-it notes to
note questions, main ideas, and even strategies.
• Double Entry Notes/ Cornell: Divide paper in half – Record notes from the text on one half and personal comments/questions on the other half
• Bookmarks: Students can take notes on “bookmarks,” recording key concepts, best quotes, or themes with specific page numbers.
• Sketch notes: Create sketches or diagrams while taking notes.

Actively Reading: SQ3Ro SURVEY: Check out structure, organization, or plan of the chapter . . . .title . . . .introduction/summary . .. headings, subheadings . . . .pictures, charts, and graphs. This allows you to predict meaning.o QUESTION: Identify or write questions you want answered – use subtitles to craft questions. This allows you to read with purpose and organize reading.o READ: Read TO ANSWER questions (evaluate importance)o RECITE: After reading each section, paraphrase, identify central question and answer, and identify main ideas.o REVIEW NOTES: Within a day and then again
within the week to increase retention. Daniels, Harvey and Zemelman, Steven. (2004). Subjects matter: Every teacher'sguide to content-area reading. Portsmouth: Heinemann
