It's Good Reader Boy! 3:30 Weekdays...
I’ve wanted to come up with a clever way for students to remember their thinking for reading strategies. A list just seems too boring. One thing I’ve learned in BrainSMART is to connect information to parts of the body to make it more memorable. So I came up with this Good Reader Boy poster!
The poster connects like this:Head: Think. Good readers monitor their own thinking while reading.
Eyes: Infer. Good readers look for clues in their text or their own schema to draw conclusions, make predictions, and more.
Nose: Importance . Good readers sniff out important details and summarize key points.
Mouth: Questions. Good readers ask questions before, during and after reading.
Heart: Visualize. Good readers love to make brain-movies when reading to fill in details missing from text.
Stomach: Schema. Good readers are hungry to connect things in their text to what they already know.
Waist: Purpose. Good readers don’t waste time…they choose a purpose for reading and choose the best strategy.
Hands: Synthesize. Good readers can ‘put it all together’ to retell and summarize beyond the basic information.
Knees: Monitor Comprehension. Good readers know they need to understand text. They know what to do if they don’t understand the text.
Feet: Text Structure. Good readers have a firm understanding of the elements of a story and use it to help them understand the text.
Is the little fella a little…um…disproportionate? Yes, but I’m going with the “it adds character” excuse! I can’t wait to share this with the students Monday!

This is a great idea!
For those wanting to incorporate with students, how about taking the students picture and letting them draw using word, onenote, paint, etc. You could even print out their pictures in the center of the paper and let them label the pieces as you explain and talk about it.
Just some integration ideas. I love the concept! Thanks for sharing!

More Than a Sport: A Look at Scootering’s Evolution
Too many people do not have a clear idea about what is a Scooter; and much less than there is a sport based on it. Besides, it is a sport that has evolved a lot from its beginning, but if you do not know too much about the sport is hard to see it as more than a kid game.However, this sport is more than just kids and young people making scooter tricks in a square; scootering is a kind of culture and a lifestyle that has more than 20 years growing to become what it is today.For this reason, we…See More
