October ISAT PD Follow‐up
• Extended response is considered one of the most challenging
portions of the ISAT test. • Some of the strategies suggested in October presentation were
basic yet effective everyday reading strategies:– Tell me more about your thinking”– “What in the story made you think that”– “Where did you find this in the text”– “The main character feels _____ because___”– “The problem is____ because_______”– Stop and say something
(to the person next to you, group)
– Short write
(write what you’re thinking)
– Questioning
(students write down 1‐2 questions they have)
• How has extended response practice going in your classrooms? • Are there any great ideas, suggestions, and/or anything not
working for you in the classroom you would like to share?
