Kendra, In Reading Recovery Training, Marie Clay said that a strategy is something that you can't observe...we can only infer they are using that strategy, such as monitoring, visualizing, etc. Those are all "in the head". Skills, or behaviors, as Clay would say, are observable. We can see evidence of students using the skill. Hope that helps! Kelli Thexton Literacy Coach Westside Elementary Rogers, AR USA
I always have trouble explaining the difference between a skill and a strategy to my students. Anyone have any good ideas/definitions?
