[|The Six Ts of Effective Elementary Literacy Instruction] I chose this article because it teaches us about how much reading and writing is being done in the classroom. It states that even during a 90 minute reading block, only 20% of that time is devoted to actually having the students read. I think this is important to understand so that statistic can be changed.

media type="custom" key="24594160" I chose this video because it teaches us how to teach reading comprehension strategies.
