Instructional Strategies
When used together, these types of literacy strategies maximize student learning. Although it may not be necessary/possible to use all four strategies in every lesson, each one plays a part in helping students comprehend and retain content material. Below is a partial list of strategies. Part of my job is to support you by planning with you, modeling, co-teaching, and/or visiting with you in your classroom.
