Instructor
Clare Landrigan and Tammy Mulligan have been working in the field of professional development for over 20 years. Through Teachers for Teachers they work with diverse school systems to implement best practices in the field of literacy and to engage in institutional change. They are the authors of Assessment in Perspective and It’s All About the Books.
While demonstrating this lesson in front of teachers, Clare Landrigan uses the students’ previous work with inferring about author’s message to have them infer with unknown words they encounter in text.
In this video from a 5th grade small group, Clare Landrigan talks with students about making predictions and finding evidence in text. The text used is Jean Little's Hey World, Here I Am! Poems and short essays are excellent choices for small-group comprehension work, because the text can be read, reread, and discussed in just a few minutes.
Clare Landrigan meets with a group of four 5th graders to talk about goal setting in reading workshop. Each student leaves with a specific goal for their reading.
