Structure Suggestions for Reading Goal

[a226]

At my school, grade levels set Reading and Math goals for the year based on the Baseline assessments. Third grade has decided to improve mastery of the skill "generalization" from 11.9% to 75%. I am thinking of using "Find Someone Who" to work with this skill but I would like to use some other structures as well. I'm struggling with this one! Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks for implementing structures for active engagement! Thanks for your great question! I want to make sure I completely understand your question, so I need a little more information. Would you be willing to email me at kriso@kaganonline.com and please attach the worksheet you have used for Find Someone Who?
All the best,
Kris Osthoff

Love how your grade level set such a great goal. I think Find Someone Who would be great for any worksheet involving/practicing the skill. A few other options may be: Rally Coach or Numbered Heads- where they have to explain their thinking to support their response. Or even Talking Chips- where they can discuss their point of view with their team members and have a group discussion about similarities and differences of ideas, and places in the text that support answer. Just a few ideas. Best wishes!

I'm not sure where you are located, and if this is even a possibility or not -- but you might consider coming to the new "Reading Between the Lines" one-day workshop that will be held next July at the Kagan Summer Academy at Disney World. This one-day workshop will be devoted to using cooperative learning structures to promote inferential-level reading comprehension skills (such as generalizations). Hope to see you there!
