Welcome to my blog on Literacy!

There is a big emphasis right now on helping our students become 21st century learners. We need to help students become independent readers and writers who can think critically and solve real world problems. I want this blog to be helpful for both teachers and parents in the process of supporting 21st century literacy! Please look through all of the different resources I have posted and share any great resources that you might have! Thanks!

Parents can help students question at home too!

One of our goals while helping students become 21st century learners is to help our students become critical thinkers who are inquisitive. We also know as educators that the work that we do at school can be reinforced at home and help deepen a child's understanding. I found this page that helps parents use questioning techniques while they are reading at home with their children. Parents always want to know what they can do specifically to help and this will give them a good idea on how to boost their child's reading comprehension.
