In this "Incomplete Sentence Detectives" activity, your students become investigators of the mystery hiding behind each of the sentences on the page. Each sentence looks a lot like a complete one, but something's off...something's missing... It's up to students to figure out wh

Key Literacy Skills - What Am I Reading?! Pre-Read Text Identification Practice
When we read in life outside of school, we usually choose what we read and know exactly why we’re reading it. For students in school, that is not always the case. Yet the research is clear: In school and in life, we will be more successful readers if we know what we are reading beforehand and if we know why we are reading it (our purpose). This is because when you know what you’re reading and why you’re reading, it changes how you read. You are able to better adapt your reading strategies

Teaching style
I enjoy making lessons engaging, interesting, fun, and challenging. I also make use of educational research and strategies to help students learn as best as they can, and build these principles into my lesson materials and activities. I believe that giving students agency in their learning helps it to be more meaningful and long-lasting (and fun!), so I enjoy making use of discovery learning and activities in which students learn-by-doing. This sometimes looks like playing "games" where the students hardly realize how deeply they're engaging with the content!
