QUICK READ
Every teacher teaches students to learn with text.
A guided reading program for teachers of all content areas.
Holly Konrady, M.Ed.Literacy Coach
New Hanover County
What is a Quick Read?
• Short text (Half to a full page)• Topic of text is relevant to the goal and
objective for that class• Instructional Strategies for pre, during, and
post reading are connected.• Strategies “owned” by students
Why a Quick Read?
• Students become strategic readers.• Students practice through collaboration with others.• Students create relevancy.• Students can physically move in the context of the
learning.• Can act as a springboard to higher order thinking.• Students add strategies to their own “tool box.”
My Strategy Tool Box1 = will not use, 2 = might use, 3 = Great; helpful!

Pre-Reading Strategies
• focus the learning• activate prior knowledge (and the
sensory receptors) • create relevancy
During Reading Strategies
• Create a visual representation of material to help organize new information.
• Chunk difficult text to make it more manageable
• Make greater meaning through interaction with text and other students.
Post Reading Strategies
• Repeat information that has been learnedAND/OR
• Apply information that has been learned TO
assess student learning and move new information into long term memory.
Before you teach a class that involves text, ask yourself, “Could I teach this with no students
in the room?” If the answer is yes, don’t teach it that way.
Compare and Contrast
Soccer Basketball

ball kicked into net ball is thrown into a net
a goalie defends the net a guard defends the net
Dribbling means kicking dribbling means bouncing
Compare
• Look for ways that people, events, things, or ideas are the same.
• Contrast the two by looking for differences in color, size, and shape, ideas or other similar characteristics.
Signal Words
• Signal words and phrases that show similarities– similarly– like– still– likewise– in the same way– in comparison– at the same time– in the same manner
Signal WordsSignal words that show contrasts (differences)
however on the other hand but nevertheless conversely rather on the contrary yet nonetheless in contrast
Compare and ContrastAdult male and female herring gull look alike, while
adult male and female mallards differ greatly in coloring. Juvenile herring gulls, on the other hand, change coloring when they mature into adults, while mallards do not change appearance as adults. The adult herring gull is mostly white with a dark gray back and wings.
By contrast, the male mallard is quite colorful, with an iridescent green-blue head, a white ring around the neck, a ruddy brown breast, and a light gray body. Both gulls and mallards have webbed feet, but the herring gull's feet are pink, while the mallard's are orange.

SCOS EssentialQuestion:How do certain picture books exemplify certain text structures?How can we use the process of inductive reasoning to generalize about text structures?
Know – how to construct generalizationsAbout various picture books through an inductive process
Understand that…We can use an inductive process to generalize about the text structure of a picture book.
Do- visit learning centers that have picture books, choose text structures from a list, use induction to generalize text structures in picture booksSee MO below

Is technology the magic bullet?
• Technology, in and of itself, is not a magic wand. Technology is not going to fix the problems associated with schooling, but, at the same time, the problems that plague our educational system are not going to be remedied without the presence of technology.
• Researcher, Northeast Regional Forum
Studies examining the success of technology-rich schools have revealed four key features that appear to represent
best practices of the high technology school of the future.
Technology must support student needs
• The first feature emphasizes the role of concentrated, conscious, and explicit planning among school leaders, families, and students to create "learner centered" environments. These learner-centered environments focus on how technology can support students' individual needs and capabilities, not on the capabilities of the technology itself.
Rigor and Relevance• As a corollary to this planning process, the
goals and challenging standards for student achievement are clearly articulated. In successful technology-rich schools, these measures of student success are not simply limited to achievement test scores, but also include indicators of other important school processes, such as student motivation and engagement, job placement, attendance rates, dropout rates, and level of family involvement.
Learner focused Environments
• A third feature emphasizes the restructuring of the school to support the learner-centered environment and achievement of standards. Successful technology-rich schools physically reorganize and redesign their classrooms and school buildings, rethink their use of time, reevaluate the manner in which they deliver their curriculum, and build better partnerships among teachers, administrators, parents, and students.
Universal access
• The fourth and final feature common to successful technology-rich schools is near universal access to computer technology --at least one computer for every five students.
Restructure classes• For example, within the framework of this learner-centered
environment, a successful technology-rich school may lengthen its class periods to accommodate an interdisciplinary program, which is enhanced through the use of technology. Teachers may lecture less and require more interaction and discussion from students. Properly supported with technology, many students with disabilities remain in regular classrooms with their peers, or reduce their need for school-related services. In these and similar ways schools are restructured to become learner centered.
