Blog 4 Teach with a Sense of Urgency- Routman

When I read Routman’s Chapter 4, Teach with a Sense of Urgency I thought, we are already doing that.

We have read alouds, turn and talk, daily writing, writer’s workshop, shared reading and guided reading.

We even have several assessments in place. We gather data, test students and analyze their writing.

But the more I read,  the more I realized that I may not be moving my students the way she describes. I need to include more thinking, rereading, using strategies and modeling. As I try to put these into practice, I hope I can improve individual reading needs and continue to have high expectations for my students.
