I would give Ss a post it note during silent reading to write down "uncomfortable" words-- then I would collect on chart paper #1stchat

LowensteinMaria Oct 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Try doing things like cheers and chants to spell out the words. When modeling writing, purposely use the wall for words #1stchat

Miss_Smallwood Oct 29 @ 8:40 PM EDT

catch upA3: Ss should use the word wall without prompting them, they should be using it regularly enough that it is habit for them #1stChat
