My Reading and Writing Workshop

[@betseyville7]

I am currently a student teacher and my cooperating teacher uses the Word their Way system and I learned about it in college, and love it! I think all of your students' writing is great because over the year you will be able to see progress and you can show their parents their writing during conferences. Love this video, so helpful!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+zayra - 👍🏼 Great to hear! It has been a great tool! I'm looking forward to the students recognizing their accomplishments as well 😎

[@danielgarzon464]

I recently stumbled upon your videos. I'm a 6th-grade teacher in Northern California. I started using word study in my room today and I'll be implementing some of your other ideas as well. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos; I have found them to be a tremendous help.

[@aaliyahrashed3091]

Thank you so much for all of the valuable information and ideas. I would like to know more about how you differentiate the word study portion of your reader's/writer's block.

[@kristiannelangham113]

This video has been SO helpful! I need to watch it again and take notes. :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Kristianne Langham - Yay!!! I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@MrsBryon]

I agree with a former poster, Susan M, it would be great to see a DITL. I'm a visual, as well as an aural, learner. I'm learning so much from you that I actually have a desire to go back into education. Thank you!

[@sarahshannon2698]

sounds like you are an awesome teacher!

[@kelseyhelton9361]

I found this video looking for writing tips. I would love to know more about how you implement your writing groups & teach writing/ grammar everyday. :)

[@elly4586]

Please do a Word Study video!! Thanks :)

[@VisionsInFlight]

I loved this video. I wish I had 2 hours, I only get 94 mins for ELA so it is nearly impossible to incorporate word study. Could you make a video showing a conference including the data binder?

[@piglet7654]

I only get 75 min. :(

[@blissfullys2579]

Love your videos! I want to be a teacher and next year I'll be a freshman in college! Do you think you could make a video about your college experience (as an education major) or the process of becoming a teacher and how it went for you? I would LOVE to hear all about it ☺️

[@evanjefferson2809]

Wow Bridget you are a brilliant person you are so nice and great full thank you

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Aww. Thank you so much!

[@teacheronthedouble3056]

I would love to know more about how you make your word study videos and how the kids watch them. Do you use an iPhone to video and do kids use laptops or tablets to view? Thank you!!

[@Bethsbeautydiary]

I think I would have been a better reader if I had a teacher in elementary school that taught me to take notes and write about what I read in a journal.... your doing great thanks for sharing your ideas😁

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Aww. Thank you so much!

[@alliesmall]

Please do a mini lesson video!! It would be great.

[@tgray0914]

awesome video...I love your vlogs

[@madelingutierrez321]

What are the fonts that you used for your video titles....I am in love with them, or what website(s) do you use....can you give links? By the way I am enjoying your videos, being a student teacher I feel that all of your video help me a lot with inspiration for my own teaching! Thank you from Elgin, Illinois!

[@curlydo32]

I would love to see how you integrate technology with your lessons.

[@coffeepotsnpolkadots]

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :-)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you!

[@melissabruemmer6748]

You're lucky that you have that choice of teaching small groups for reading. In my district we don't have that option. We even have to SAY certain things in our lessons. I feel like a robot sometimes!

[@sheryldennie1294]

Just FYI, when you're showing us your Reader Response Yellow pages- "Proofread" is spelled incorrectly. Sorry I don't mean to start negative. This has been the MOST USEFUL video I have seen to help me get ready to take on Reading Writing Workshop. I love your ideas and structure and wrote almost everything down. THANKS so much!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Sheryl Dennie 😘 thank you for the sweet comment. I have an awful habit of proofreading after I’ve already hit print 😅

[@adeolaadegabi8639]

What are the other students doing when you have a small group that you're working with? Also, is there a reason you do writing before reading, or is that just your preference? My district literacy model puts reading before writing instruction.

[@LovePink278]

I wanna be your student teacher! First year teaching is hard...I've already used so many of your strategies in my classroom.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Aww. Thank you so much!

[@MichelleGayscienceteacher]

Thank you! How do you assess your students for grades in reading?

[@jewelscaliper4879]

Also how did you initially decide where to begin with each student...what did you use to sort them into groups?

[@jenniferhugar5352]

Jewels Caliper I'd like to know this too. We just started small groups this year in 4th grade and I've not gotten answers to this from people in my district. We do DRAs, but they aren't the best for grouping.

[@kathryns31biz]

Can you show us your reader response journals?

[@growingfirstgraders1992]

Hafa Adai! I was wondering what order do you start in with the 8 components? Thank you for sharing this! I'm going to start this workshop in January. I'm a little scared that it'll be all confusing but I need to start somewhere right! lol

[@pattersonteach]

New video topic suggestions: stations, unit or thematic planning, academic vocabulary, assessmemt strategies.

[@kaitlyntylman7027]

Could you do a "Day in the Life of Fourth Grade" like your Kindergarten video? That would be awesome!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Hopefully after Christmas.

[@pm-r6136]

Does your district take the PARCC test? If you do how do you prepare your students for this?

[@Tom-kh6gi]

Hi, Do you have a sample of any forms that you use in your classroom ? Such as Tesacherpayteachers? Thanks Bangkok, Thailand

[@mrssantiago301]

I would love to see what Word Study looks like? I have 10 students way below level and 13 kids way above level this year!!!! I need differentiation on steroids this year! Please help!!!

[@kathryns31biz]

Brenda, how many teachers? What grade? Do you use words their way?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I might de a differentiation video. I have a spread out group as well.

[@mrssantiago301]

AWESOME!!!

[@pm-r6136]

My class is having a hard time with run on sentences. Do you have any ideas that I could use?

[@katiesims6489]

If your partner teacher ever starts a channel, let us know! I'm doing the math/science/social studies end of the team.

[@amiyahmccall1140]

Great Video

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thanks!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

What should my next 'Main' video cover?

[@natalie3104]

The Lettered Classroom a video on your new behavior management system would be awesome😊

[@zarahyah12]

Behavior Management

[@whoopwhoopbooyeahh]

A "Plan with Me" video would be awesome. Also, differentiating instruction info.

[@DianaGonzalez-mn2tw]

Your story on how you got into teaching :)

[@samantharooney734]

The Lettered Classroom can you please do a plan with me video please?

[@davblockton7033]
