It's called a knowledge rating.

It is just a metacognitive activity-something like this:
I have a clear understanding of the word and can explain it and use
it.
I have some idea about the word's meaning and I can
understand it in certain contexts
I have read or heard the word but I don't know what it means.
I don't remember hearing or seeing this word.

Hi, all,
I'm wracking my brain trying to remember a pre reading and vocabulary
activity.
The words are listed down the left side, and students indicate their
familiarity with the word. Does anyone know what this is called?
Thanks,
Carol

I read it online. No, actually I printed it out and read my paper
copy. There was a link on a Heinemann ad to this sample chapter.

Hi,
I'd heard about this from another list and you can't access this
online. Or can you?

I've often been accused of using too many words. Well, for once,
I'm
speechless! What an incredible evening I've had. I received the e-
ad for
Thomas Newkirk's new book, Holding On to Good Ideas in a Time of
Bad Ones -
Six Literacy Principles Worth Fighting For from Heinemann. Gave it
a glance
and almost accidentally decided to print out the sample chapter. I
read it
tonight - OH MY GOSH, as morning show radio DJs would say! I was
immediately transported to those first years when Donald Murray and
Donald
Graves and Thomas Newkirk and Nancie Atwell and Lucy Calkins first
sprung
into my life.
This chapter, "Finding a Language for Difficulty - Silences in Our
Teaching
Stories," is one of the most powerful pieces of inspired writing
I've read
in years, perhaps decades. His writing takes you right into his
head and
into the "small moments" he describes. He "gets it."
He doesn't
teach what
I do, he doesn't work with students the age of mine, his climate is
far
different than mine, his state was a different color than
mine...and yet
Thomas Newkirk can cut through all the differences and zoom into
your very
heart and soul.
I can't tell you how intense the chapter is, but what I can tell
you is that
none of you out there would find this chapter irrelevant or
unimportant. I
can't help wanting to shout it from the rooftops, "He gets it.
He
gets it.
He gets it!" I can't wait to talk about it with someone.
What a night! I "heart" you, Thomas Newkirk!
