Instructor
Karen Szymusiak has walked in the shoes of almost every school community member—over the years she has met with colleagues as a teacher, parent, curriculum coordinator, staff developer, and literacy specialist. Karen is the co-author (with Franki Sibberson) of many books and videos on teaching reading and assessment in the intermediate grades.
Beth Lawson shows how to get the most from a conference about series books in third grade. Inferring and synthesis are discussed, as well as the use of written notes for making meaning from texts.
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.
Katie confers with two middle school students after the inferring minilesson as they practice the strategy by annotating and discussing inferences in their picture books.
