Competency #8 Research Visual/Multimedia




Researching how to help struggling readers in the library can be a difficult task, so articles found that are meant to be used in the classroom, can easily be used in the library. The image above is a student organizer meant to help struggling readers organize their thoughts and gain more comprehension of the story. This can easily be done in a library whole group setting, by having a chart tablet ready to go and using interactive writing with the students to answer the questions. This image was very helpful in getting an idea of where to start helping struggling readers in a whole group setting, such as the library.
