RPI 3 Text Selection

There are many ways to get a selection of text and use this selection in a reading program.

I found the digital and audio information helpful for students that did not quite understand or hear the instructions, or that it was not as clearly explained.  

Todays session talked about grouping the students, grouping in levels or mixed.  The pros and cons.

I appreciated the information for mixed grouping and how that mixing the students extends on the cognitive level for the students reading, in most cases.  This session offered ideas and strategies for grouping to push the students ahead.

The flea jumping in a jar scenario was an eye opener for me in terms of knowing how stretch the learning of the student to their full potential.  Do not limit the potential.  Keep the lid of the jar.

Consider flexible grouping.  Reviewing the program and students regularly, change it up frequently, keep them alert and engaged.

Text selection.  There are a few ways to access a variety of text, diverse text, text of interest, digital text, etc.  

When learning a new topic teachers must consider a variety of text, genre, and how to present these set of text to the class.  Then understand how to teach the students to summerise the different text to extend the learning of the topic and/or learning intentions.
