These posters are a "think aloud" of the process of inferring while reading. Differentiated versions of the graphic organizers allow students to practice the inferencing skill during their independent reading. Our good modeling and explicit instruction will lead to some strong

Teaching style
I believe that the teachers have a very challenging job, addressing the academic, social, and emotional needs of children and guiding them towards independence.
Best Practices in Teaching:
*Social-Emotional Learning & strong teacher-student relationships
*Growth Mindset
*Science of Reading: direct, explicit, cumulative, multi-sensory phonics instruction & knowledge-building activities
*Differentiated & Scaffolded Instruction: Meeting students where they are and providing supports as necessary
