Building Independence: Growing critical thinkers and readers in the literacy classroom
In this episode:
Listen in as we talk about promoting self leadership through growing critical thinkers and readers in the literacy classroom.
We talk about:
The what, the why and the how of building independence by promoting self leadership through growing critical thinkers and readers in your upper elementary literacy classroom.
Quotables:
-Growing critical thinkers and readers means that we create an environment where upper elementary students read a text, think about the text and respond to the text in a way that clarifies their thinking.
- We need to help our students become critical thinkers and readers because it’s in the reading, thinking and writing about what they have read that students begin to formulate their thinking.
-Take time to remind students of what it means to be a critical thinker. Students are not going to remember how to apply critical thinking skills on their own.
