Collaborative Reading: Building Successful Readers Together
This elementary school in the Bronx has cracked the code to improving literacy—and it’s a simple framework where kids read together daily.
Students at every grade level do 15 minutes of shared reading every day. (Download a PDF of the shared reading planning sheet.) They begin learning how to annotate in pre-kindergarten. (Download a PDF of the annotation descriptions for PK–1st Grade.) By second grade, they are ready to learn more complex annotation marks. (Download a PDF of the annotation descriptions for 2nd–5th Grade.)
