Building classroom reading communities: retrospective miscue analysis and socratic circles

How can teachers ensure that each child becomes a better reader? Building Classroom Reading Communities presents a successful approach for motivating students as individual readers while encouraging peer-to-peer learning. By showing how to use Retrospective Miscue Analysis (RMA) and Socratic Circles together, the authors help teachers create a sense of community in the classroom and promote achievement for every student. The authors show how RMA-which develops students' comprehension and fluency by analyzing their mistakes as they read aloud-can be used to provide a window into each student's progress. The interactive discussion techniques used in Socratic Circles then extend learning in small groups and class wide. Teachers, literacy coaches, and others will find: Assessment strategies and step-by-step guidance to implementing RMA and Socratic Circles; Insights on improving student skills in vocabulary, language structure, comprehension, and other key areas; Flexible, adaptable techniques for readers of all abilities; Numerous vignettes showing the use of RMA with SocraticCircles in the classroom.
