Description
Have you ever glanced at a piece of mail and known exactly what it was without reading the full text? That skill is part of your schema, the experiences you’ve had and inferences you can make to give meaning to text. Reading is a skill that encompasses far more than phonemic awareness. Learn how to guide your gifted students to create dynamic meaning from their readings.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn to:
- Understand gifted students’ unique social and emotional needs
- Teach students to draw from schema and text to create meaning
- Use running records to hone in on reading problemss

No matter how long we teach guided reading, it is always good to be reminded of things we might forget in the middle of a crazy day at school. I very much recommend this PD. Just as Jennifer Leal encouraged us to set a purpose for reading with our students, she modeled that in her presentation; her purpose in teaching us about guided reading, she presented purposeful objectives which were clearly presented and met.

This was a great course to reinforce what teachers know about guided reading. The presenters way of making us think about we should select books for our students and information on running records was very informative and will definitely help me in being more purposeful in my guided reading groups.

Rebecca – Pilot (verified owner) –
I think that this was a good course. The video stopped in the middle, but the notes allowed me to continue with it. I will say the beginning made it difficult to know what the course as about and I was almost turned off by the speaker as she seemed to be leaning to the GT kids are better than everyone view that I have seen in many GT trainings. I really liked the examples and explanations of the “Read to, Read with, and Read by.” I already do the Read to process she uses, so it was nice to see it in a training.
