New! Upper Elementary Reading Strategy Module Posted
Dear IRIS Family, The IRIS Center is proud to announce the latest addition to our growing catalogue of online interactive modules: CSR: A Reading Comprehension Strategy, a revision and detailed expansion of the CSR section of The Reading Blues: Strategies to Help Upper-Elementary Students Move from Struggle to Success. Mr. Dupree, a sixth-grade science teacher at Washington Middle School, is growing concerned about his students' performance. After consulting with his colleagues and conducting some independent research, Mr. Dupree concludes that many of his students are having trouble understanding the science textbook. Because reading comprehension skills are not routinely taught beyond the third grade, he decides to teach reading comprehension strategies to his students. We invite you to join Mr. Dupree as he learns about Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), an approach that students with varying reading abilities can apply to improve comprehension while reading expository text in small, cooperative learning groups. To view CSR: A Reading Comprehension Strategy, please go to: http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/csr/challenge.htm. Many more IRIS resources can be found at: http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/index.html. As always, we encourage you to share our materials with your colleagues and classes, and we look forward to hearing any feedback or questions that you might have.
