donohoe_kitty Jul 7 @ 8:36 PM EDT

#G2Great As far as question 1, I rush sometimes and worry about time, need to leave more student think time.

mindi_r Jul 7 @ 8:36 PM EDT

#g2great A1: I tend to do too much of the goal setting & thinking. Kids need to be aware of their own strengths and areas of weakness.

MrsSokolowski Jul 7 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@kimyaris This is so disheartening & disengaging for Ss! #G2great

kimyaris Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@jdsniadecki Sounds very next generation! #G2Great

ShelfieTalk Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1 When there are too many response/accountability requirements, it makes it hard for readers to just read. #g2great

tavia_clark Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

watsons97 Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1 Ts doing too much of the work when they choose the books, give too much busywork to accompany, write discussion questions #G2Great

berger_aberger Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Nodding and giving other nonverbal cues. Can create more dependency in readers😕 #G2Great

StephWardRanger Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A little late to #g2great...was reading 'just one more' bedtime story! Great to be here now though!

MrsSokolowski Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@DrLMaucione I think also limiting genre... Not letting Ss read nonfiction until a certain month of the year. #G2Great

donohoe_kitty Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@mindi_r #G2Great I like the get off the train thought.

ChristinaNosek Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1) Talk too much. More observing and listening must take place. #G2Great

WrightBrianaJ Jul 7 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1-2: S cannot self-regulate and build stamina. Depend on T. Limited engagement. #G2Great

A1 I used to be a slave to the curriculum guide instead of read aloud choices based on most compelling texts matched to my Ss #G2Great

DrMaryHoward - Moderator Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1 When we constantly interrupt to ask questions, we forget that independent work needs solitude too. #G2Great

bookblogmomma Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@donohoe_kitty Me too, Kitty. OR I run out of time because I'm doing too much of the work in the conference or minilesson. #G2Great

DrLMaucione Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Yes, it does! Also, Ss aren't learning to make good decisions for themselves about what to read. #G2Great

jdsniadecki Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Yes, I remember my student saying, “I just want to READ!” Love him, and reading! #g2great https://t.co/0deKl4hnMU

A1 When there are too many response/accountability requirements, it makes it hard for readers to just read. #g2great

KymHarjes Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1: too many teacher selections is a risky move...a balance of books driven by St choice is more engaging #G2Great

mollienye72 Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1: dictating what each Ss independence is - choosing the independent book(s) for them. Not teaching them how to be independent. #G2Great

kimyaris Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@StephWardRanger Ahhh! The joy of Read Aloud. We're glad you were late! #G2Great

MentorTextGal Jul 7 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1. #G2Great It means we control too much of what is going on during that ind reading time. Not enough Ss choice going on.

@kimyaris yes, terrible when Ts like mint what they can read! #g2great

StephWardRanger Jul 7 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1: the quietness of reading is sometimes not necessary. Ss want to share their books & ideas not be shushed all the time. #G2Great

mindi_r Jul 7 @ 8:43 PM EDT

#g2great Looks like 3rd grade is really representing tonight here at the chat! Woot!

watsons97 Jul 7 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Ooh...love that term "quiet research" #G2Great https://t.co/TD3L3Xcmz1

tavia_clark Jul 7 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@StephWardRanger This is a great point! We have to let them share and talk. This helps to build enthusiasm and passion! #G2Great

suzrolander Jul 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

And @franmcveigh it doesn't create lifelong readers. Reading is the prize! #G2Great https://t.co/Xy7UiY5xvz

franmcveigh Jul 7 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A1: Making independent reading be about prizes, logs, and accountability instead of READING is wrong! #G2Great

FloradTeach Jul 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#G2Great A1 when Ts have follow ups 4 Ss & Ssknow it. Purpose for reading is seen as answering ?Ss not "getting into" the book as a result.

bookblogmomma Jul 7 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@Deb_Frazier Guilty... If I'm turning the pgs I'm definitely doing too much of the work, ha! #G2Great

Deb_Frazier Jul 7 @ 8:46 PM EDT

KyleneBeers Jul 7 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2 And I always ask “Is there a part you need to reread? How will you read it differently?” #G2Great

MrsSadler2nd Jul 7 @ 8:47 PM EDT

a2 #g2great what does this book have you wondering about?

berger_aberger Jul 7 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Borrowing from Kylene here: What surprised you? S read and talk about stuff I didn't think of. Makes teaching even more fun! #G2Great

sjohn2000 Jul 7 @ 8:49 PM EDT

#G2Great. Conferring: "what did this book make you think about?" I get some amazing responses from kids.

mindi_r Jul 7 @ 8:49 PM EDT

#g2great And my favorite followup: What makes you think/say that?

KyleneBeers Jul 7 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2 I also ask “Who did this text change, challenge, or confirm your thinking?” This is especially imp for NF. #G2Great

DrMaryHoward - Moderator Jul 7 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Turn your own reading inward. What would YOU wish someone would ask you about your reading? What’s good for the goose… #G2Great

Prizes, points, prompts, and prodding creating DEPENDENT readers vs. INDEPENDENT readers. #G2Great https://t.co/3xzsYkfCUf
