Did you Know: Text + Thinking = Real Reading?

Monday, September 27th, 2021—Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship 5^th grade students in Ms. Edgar and Ms. Byington class practice analyzing text using a graphic organizer. For this assignments, students were tasked with using the organizer and answering the following two questions: What the author has to say (words and pictures), and what is going on in my head (thoughts, comments, questions)? This practice is a great way for students to understand and comprehend what they are reading and helps them become more confident readers.
