Happy Holidays from Best Practices Weekly! We hope these resources make your December merrier. *Volume 1, Edition 39 – Five Best Practice Phonics Lessons "The elements of effective phonics instruction are fairly well-established, and in an article for the International Reading Association, literacy coach Lori Oczkus summarizes those best practices. In this write-up, you'll find 5 lesson ideas that Oczkus highlights as particularly strong in teaching phonics, phonemic awareness, and word work." *Volume 1, Edition 40 – Teaching Measurement Concepts "Measurement is difficult to teach conceptually – only 20% of 4th graders were able to successfully measure a toothpick on a ruler as part of the National Assessment of Education Progress. In an article for Teaching Children Mathematics, a trio of Michigan State University researchers details concrete ways to teach measurement so students grasp the underlying concepts." *Volume 1, Edition 41 – Keys to Reading Motivation "Every teacher hates to hear a student say that they "hate reading." In an article for The Reading Teacher, Clemson University professor Linda Gambrell summarizes seven key research findings and provides classroom tips for maximizing students' motivation in reading." -Elliot Haspel ehaspel@edsuccess.org www.bestpracticesweekly.com Originally posted by Alix at AAE.
