Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterGrade level will somewhat affect the plan and flow of the CCS, but the major components should still all be present most days. With younger grades, you will spend more time doing some oral reading for fluency, but that should not replace any part of the CCS. Instead, the CCS may take place over more than one day. For example, in Grade 1, you may meet one day to just do some oral reading practice with the text. The next day you may include more of the usual components of the CCS—as if the complete CCS took place over two days rather than one. Please feel free to contact me with specific questions at any time!
Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterTina, I love this sentence: “It is important to address the current skill and provide feedback, but there is freedom and excitement the students will experience by discussing their thinking outside of that prescribed script, which will inherently engage them in deep thinking about the text.” Great!

Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterGreat observations and comparisons—love the interaction!
Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterGood observations and thoughts here. Laura, keep in mind that an observed weakness, such as students not decoding well in 4th grade, indicates a shortcoming in a previous step. You may need to help your school explore its phonemic awareness and phonics programs to increase the effectiveness of instruction in these areas. There are proven approaches and strategies (e.g., dictation) that your school should be implementing within its phonics instruction.
Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterYes, the spoken practice using the word has significant benefits for developing word mastery. And you will find students have greater flexibility in how and where they use the words.
Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterYes, multi-sensory with an emphasis on correct usage. Words that an individual cannot use well are basically worthless.
Kevin D. Washburn, Ed.D.KeymasterGood observations!
