One of the areas that my students struggle with is reading comprehension. They were writing about character traits. They could discuss personification and compare and contrast stories. DeSoto (remember…EXEMPLAR units)…my class had knocked it out of the park. We took a district mandate and made it appropriate and engaging for our students.Īnd I’ll leave you with this….at the end of the IFL units on Brave Irene and Dr. And that is where the Read It Up series of creations was born. But I know my students are capable of anything as long as they have the necessary scaffolding and support. As we started planning for these IFL units, we realized the approach was less than engaging and we questioned the developmentally appropriateness of the activities and teaching methods. The units our district purchased were for Brave Irene and Dr. These literacy units are promoted as “exemplar” units for teaching literacy. Without sharing too many of personal opinions on this matter (read between the lines, ya’ll)….our district purchased ($$$$$$$$) something called an IFL Unit. Have you seen our Read It Up Creations? If not, I started creating these last year in response to a district mandate. ![]()
