hi all!

Christine

Please go to the 3rd icon from the left - if the first name in the list is “viewer” please change to your name

Alice King

Its what teachers have been asking for

Christine

Success for our early readers

Gina

Shared reading!

Mary Tavegia

I am excited for schools to have the opportunity from the very beginning to build in the dual goals of the CCC approach

Joe

Bringing back Shared Reading

Sandra McCartney

so much taught "formally" "informally" and "applied"

Alice B

That we are providing a curriculum that makes sense and is what teachers have been looking for

Marisa Ramirez Stukey

I’m most excited about the small group support. It’s essential!

Janice

Agree, shared reading

Kim Roberts

shared reading!!

Joe

Songs and Poems charting

Viewer 24

Support for small group reading!

Wendy Seger

The balance that BAR provides for the youngest readers.

Sandra McCartney

aligned with Foundational Standards

Rachel

Good morning Eveyone!

Christine

Yes Linda!

Christine

Gina does shock us

Gina

I feel like MM and BAR are a perfect match!

Gina

So well said, Linda!

Christine

MM - overarching piece:)

Melissa Tovaas

I like that view, Linda. Thank you!

Kristy

Agree - easy to understand that explanation.

Joe

Sharon’s graphic for this idea is very helpful!

Sandra McCartney

it is about the stages of reading development

Rachel

I feel like BAR is that necessary bridge to transition our SIPPS districts into the whole literacy block and not just intervention &/or direct instruction

Sandra McCartney

stages not ages

Gina

Right, Rachel! Authentic literacy block based on the hard work they have done w developing fluent readers

Marisa Ramirez Stukey

Yes! So important to see the complex interactions between what we’ve taught as discrete pieces

Christine

MM gives everyone access to the deeper thinking and talk around a common text - supports all of the other literacy happening throughout the day

Rachel

I'm not seeing any chat.

Alice B

It's true that we need the thread- but it will take a lot of shifting in the school, district and teacher's minds about not just chunking time. People will want a pacing plan to see what the optimum placement of each piece will be in the day

Rachel

is my chat showing up?

me

Yes

Joe

I agree, Alice. That’s why I’m so glad to see the suggested schedules in the preview book!

Gina

Yes, Rachel!

Alice B

thanks :)

Rachel

:)

Wendy Seger

I think of the difference between content and process. We vary the content throughout each of our programs, but we've found a way to make the processes connect from one to another. That brings a great deal of consistency to the learning experience for the child.

Wendy Seger

BAR introduces many of those processes at the very early age again.

Mary Tavegia

I love that about these programs, Wendy.

Wendy Seger

Right?!

Gina

Right, Wendy and is strategically designed lessons!

Valerie

We have seen teachers using the shared reading piece as their ELD.

Christine

Thank you Valerie!

Sandra McCartney

it's not about how to make it" fit' but how we provide the most powerful supports for each child at each stage of their literacy journey

Gina

Such a huge point! Conferences are so important!

Gina

Reading & writing is for choice. So they may continue what they have been doing.

Christine

We also suggest having that “5th day” in MM as an additional IDR time to allow for additional conferring time

Christine

Easy way to add one student conference each day

Linda

Conferring is essential!!

Christine

We also suggest having IDR first thing in the morning so that we begin each day with a few conferences

Rachel

BAR is a beautiful bridge to open up conversation with my SIPPS districts and talk about whats happening in the literacy block. It's the perfect blend to bridge DI with Wshop and help them see the whole picture

Gina

And SIPPS for 60min

Christine

Linda - I love this activity - shows them that they have to make decisions about what stays and what might go

Joe

IDR in the morning would be so much more powerful than what most do as “morning work”!

Christine

I agree Joe!

Valerie

Being a Reader is intentionally designed for this purpose, because we recognize the differences in time available on different days and different situations.

Wendy Seger

How poignant that some of the teaching teams we've worked with this year have needed to revisit the idea of curiosity and genuine interest in learning with intermediate age students. IDR at this early level is about encouraging curiosity. It's almost like learning how to pretend and imagine.

Linda

So true, Wendy.

Christine

Love that Wendy

Linda

All you have to do is watch a 2-year-old with a book.

Christine

There is a strange noise - can everyone mute

Sandra McCartney

teachers advocate and evaluate - they may follow one of our programs more intensively but may have the sense of balance around their instruction and reflect on their instruction and practice

Katy Cortelyou

Folks in my Iowa session were thrilled to see the types of instruction in GS but in a connected way across the various components

Gina

Right, Katy!

Gina

So true, Linda!

Joe

Reading to a Partner is a wonderful way to extend reading time for early readers!

Gina

Marisa, you are going to over the moon!!!

Alice B

I'll need some help to see how to position BAR with my schools who may be doing whole class SIPPS rather than using it for intervention

Gina

We can help with that Alice because we modeled it after the standards which call to differentiate. We can help position that for you.

Sandra McCartney

built in differentiation

Alice B

Thanks

Gina

I have been thinking about automaticity, accuracy and fluency. The students may master the foundational skills but fluency may not be evident

Rachel

Alice, I have a district doing the same. Year 3 and they've now started teaching in 2 groups. Progress...? time is their issue and so BAR is a conversation to be had for them as well.

Alice B

yup!

Melissa Tovaas

Alice, when you say ‘whole class’ what do you mean? Are they teaching whole group SIPPS, or do you mean with all students, but still in small groups, differentiated? If the latter, I would say BAR is going to provide them with so many supports around intentional independent work and structures for setting it up, while the teacher is teaching small groups.

Gina

I agree, Rachel. I think the whole class component is the conversation you could have now. I think SIPPS + Shared Reading is brilliant.

Melissa Tovaas

Is it true that small group lessons in Being a Reader are a little shorter than SIPPS lessons?

Alice B

You know my people... some of them are just doing the whole class from lesson 1 "so noone falls through the cracks"- Not many of them- but I do have those schools.

Valerie

Yes, the small group lessons are designed to take 15 or 20 minutes.

Melissa Tovaas

Right Alice, so BAR will help support them with the move to differentiation

Rachel

This may be off topic; will BAR being a piece mentioned during SIPPS training? Maybe at the framework slide so that those districts who begin to use SIPPS as whole class understand, BAR is a better option?

Valerie

With SIPPS we do not know what else is happening in the classroom. But with BR, we know all the supportive instruction in the rest of the LA block.

Valerie

So because all the pieces work together, we felt we did not need quite as much time during the small group instruction.

Rachel

right. It's because they saw it working for RTI, they started to use it across the board, whole class and not differentiating.

Rachel

Thats def what i see; SIPPS and BAR

Katy Cortelyou

So glad to hear you say this, Gina! Agree!

Rachel

foresee, I mean

Wendy Seger

It could be that a conversation about the whole literacy experience for the child will be important. After Iowa, I'm thinking about how to move conversations from specific constructs (like Daily Five, Words Their Way, etc.) to where those best practices can be found throughout the components of BAR and our other materials--the Suite.

Marisa Ramirez Stukey

Totally agree, Gina! That’s what RTI is really about…how students respond to the intervention and how powerful core instruction is in relation to the students’ needs

Gina

Marisa, might you want to share more? The line is not muted.

Rachel

Right, we can get those triangles turned back around

Rachel

lots of upside down triangles b/c there wasn't mastery of those foundational skills and a good program being used

Gina

What do the kids need!! What a powerful way to start the conversation.

Sandra McCartney

very good

Gina

Right!

Marisa Ramirez Stukey

Agreed!

Rachel

Amen!

Melissa Tovaas

I haven’t looked closely at the ‘routines’ in BAR alongside SIPPS routines. How might they compare? Should we still use term ‘routines’ when talking about BAR small group work?

Rachel

great question!

Valerie

No, we do not use the word "routines". The information is there, but the teacher uses her/his own language to introduce the material.

Valerie

At the same time, the basic philosophy is the same.

Melissa Tovaas

Thanks!

Rachel

will there be built in QR codes to see what it looks like?

Gina

YES! The lessons in the sample lessons sections talk about the embedded supports.

Valerie

We don't currently have any video, but we will have this on the website.

Rachel

lol...good point

Wendy Seger

Yes, Valerie. You've created BAR so developmentally designed for the needs of the young learner that it should reduce the number of students that may need intervention.

Christine

LOL

Gina

Wendy, I am thrilled about that! That is why I fell for SIPPS and now we have another quality resource to stop the over identification problem.

Katy Cortelyou

so very true, Linda

Gina

Right, Christine!

Gina

We cannot make those decisions for them. We can provide guidance

Rachel

Yes! Needs to be a fit. Sometimes its about planting the seed too. The ol' saying: the teacher arrives when the student is ready.

Viewer 34

Yes, Christine, the district and the building administrator really have to understand that schedules are going to change as students develop skills, independence and so forth.

Rachel

We can't want it more than them

Melissa Tovaas

So true, Christine! That’s a big conversation when districts have so much else going on and giving mixed messages about practices to teachers

Gina

And they love to keep what they love!

Rachel

and sometimes what the district is asking and the message they are sending are different!

Christine

yes Rachel

Ginger Cook@me

will you please send the chat to me once you capture it? Want to reread it...

me@Ginger Cook

Of course!

Melissa Tovaas

I think I know what district, Rachel :)

Ginger Cook@me

appreciate it!

Melissa Tovaas

Thanks Gina! Very helpful!

Gina

Melissa, I’ll send you the draft. Its just about done.

Melissa Tovaas

Awesome!

Ginger Cook

me too, please : )

Gina

This flow is the same flow we are moving into for SIPPS also.

Gina

It will be done Tuesday (FYI)

Gina

Great news, Tracy had great patience and was able to get the link from last week’s webinar! Thank you, Tracy!

me

You are welcome! :)

Alice B

When you say virtual- are you talking about a video where they can see a whole lesson in action?

Rachel

I sure glad this will be archived. I need to re listen. Lots of good info. thank you

Melissa Tovaas

Where does modified lesson study format fit in, or can that be at any stage after the overview?

Alice B

I think videos of how the lessons look would be great too.

Gina

Follow-up, Melissa

Melissa Tovaas

got it, thanks Gina

Gina

We didn’t list all the possibilities

Gina

Mod. LS will be a follow-up

Alice B

Thanks!

Rachel

It's a hard conversation to have when its not actually out BUT I need to reposition how I phrase it being that we DO have support to get them started and tie over

me@Gina

I'll capture the chat.

Valerie

I can stay.

Christine

I can stay too

Alice King

thank you all, such wonderful help!

Sandra McCartney

I have teachers that are very interested in learning more - can we offer a timeline of informational BAR opportunities

Melissa Tovaas

For CA, what might be best solution for TK in terms of BAR?

Sandra McCartney

thank you!

Christine

Have a great weekend

Ginger Cook

Thank you!

Katy Cortelyou

Have a great weekend!

Gina

Melissa, like SIPPS it is the 21 letter names

Gina

Fall public webinars

Gina

That will be our start

Gina

I am finalizing the pre-sale/overview with Valerie next week

Ginger Cook

we also have the archived webinar that they could see?

Melissa Tovaas

But what about Shared Reading aspect? They could use it with TK, but maybe redundant if they would also use for K the next year.

Ginger Cook

/view?

Joe

Once we have implementations, seeing it in action would be wonderful for our own learning!

Valerie

We are thinking about TK now. Letter names are important. They could use K shared reading, as you say Melissa.

Gina

right, joe!

Gina

we will all be learning

Christine

Love it Linda

Marisa Ramirez Stukey

So exciting!

Melissa Tovaas

Thanks Valerie. Keep me posted… it’s coming up and districts view TK-K as a continuum.

Joe

Great to hear your voice today, Valerie!

Sandra McCartney

perfect thank you!!!

Christine

Awesome Linda!!

Melissa Tovaas

Some districts do have TK-K combo classes, so definitely the Shared Reading Gr. K would work well

Joe

Can’t wait to see it, Linda!!

Ginger Cook

so in terms of scheduling with Sam, we can start planning on those by Oct/Nov?

Sandra McCartney

I did download the ppt and saw all of the updates very good thanks for building in differentiation in our approach

Kim Roberts

thank u all!!

Sandra McCartney

thank you

Melissa Tovaas

Thank you so much!!!! So helpful

me

Have a great weekend!

Joe

Thank you, Gina and Linda!
