EPISODE 8 I'll bet that you, and your students, can name the five steps of the writing process. Brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, and publish! This is a process that our students are taught in school year after year after year.  This constant exposure and step by step guide is one of the tools used to help students become successful writers.    Here's my big question: why don't we have a similar process for reading? Yes, we teach strategies for reading, but can our students name an explicit step by step process that they follow when they sit down to read? Probably not! The good news is that there are specific steps we can teach our students, it's just a matter of naming them in order and associating these steps with everyday reading.    In this episode I share: The 5 step reading process and the "why" behind each step Why performing a detailed preview of a text helps students get the most out of their reading experience Ways to gently push our students to maximize their growth What to do when your students answer reading questions with "I don't know"   I truly believe that if each student were exposed to this process year after year, it would help them become stronger readers who are more engaged in their texts. This 5 step reading process will make for a rich and meaningful reading experience!    Download your FREE Reading Process Checklist here: https://stellarteacher.lpages.co/opt-in-reading-process-checklist/   Resources: Digital Reading Graphic Organizers Bundle - Distance Learning  Reading Response Stop-N-Jot Reading Response Graphic Organizers   Connect with me: Join my newsletter My TPT store stellarteachercompany.com Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company   For full show notes and more resources, head to stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode8
