Using a book as a shared experience (dialogic reading/ interactive storybook reading) and then ask completion, recall, open ended, wh-, and distancing questions. -- YOU MUST SCRIPT THIS OUT. Questions must be planned. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

Teachers are not asking the "tough" questions. Here is a sneak peak at some of the data Dr. Michella Maiorana-Basas will be sharing in her presentation today on Content Reading Strategies! - Dr. @j_trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

Prompt, Evaluate, Expand, Respond- This is a key strategy (best used in the home setting) for language development and literacy! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

Our kids need to read and read and read and read. You cannot possibly teach all the words. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

Tier 2 vocabulary should be our goal for vocabulary instruction - @j_trussell at #FEDHH2019 #DeafEd #DHH #VocabularyInstruction #LivingOnATier

We have to teach grammar. Grammar has an influence on reading. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

We are great at teaching the strategy, but we are not great at revising the strategy. We need to give students MULTIPLE opportunities to use these strategies and how to pick the appropriate strategies from their "toolbox". - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

When we give students a strategy or a tool (e.g., graphic organizers), they need to know how and when to use them when you are not there. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

It is important for us to ask and clarify with students re: what they mean (#squirrel). Sometimes the connections are not 100% clear, but are there. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

We need to empower students to learn how to read like a content expert! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

ACTIVATE background knowledge! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

Reading fluency is a "puzzle" for signing kids. Try measuring silent reading fluency or "slash" tests to give you some insight. - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed

The more kids read, the more fluent they will become. THEY HAVE TO READ! - Dr. Jessica Trussell #FEDHH2019 #deafed
