Mrs. Hodges and I
worked with our ESL teacher, Mrs. Abby Ferrell, to instruct her on the steps of
the concept mastery routine. During this session, we utilized the concept
mastery guidebook in addition to a PowerPoint provided to us by our SIM
Professional Developer, Jocelyn Washburn. The convey concept for this routine
was nonfiction reading with the overall concept being reading comprehension in
various genres. Nonfiction reading is an area of weakness for all students; however, we felt Mrs. Ferrell and her students could truly benefit from having a clearer understanding of nonfiction reading.
