In this Teaching Tip I provide a link to a short YouTube video I created. At the beginning of each school year, I have my students set 3-4 individual reading goals, and together we set a class goal - to become quality readers. This class goal involves following the six recommendations listed on a “Quality Readers†chart that I share with my students and that we later sign during a special ceremony. I describe these six recommendations in the video. Give these ideas a try in class with your students or at home with your children.
A couple months ago I officially re-launched my YouTube page as the “Teaching Kids†channel and posted my first new video of the school year entitled
"Teaching Kids How to Get Back into 'School Mode.' " Each of my new “Teaching Kids†videos will feature 1-2 minute tips for educators and parents and will address a wide variety of topics that focus on teaching the whole child, including academics, character, and health.
