IN THE CLASSROOM

See the teaching in the conversation.

Three real lesson clips show how teachers connect knowledge and questions with a child’s understanding.

Reading

Start with a word root. Explore its meaning.

Questions help unpack the meaning of a word root, then open up its historical background. The child connects vocabulary with wider knowledge as they explore what the word means.

Writing

Find the structure. Understand the revision.

The teacher identifies a structural issue in the draft the student is working on. A brief, one- or two-minute exchange helps the child understand the problem and how to revise it.

ESSSP

Connect science with earlier learning.

As the teacher explains a science concept, they draw on ideas from other lessons. The child connects different topics and develops understanding they can apply elsewhere.

FEEDBACK IN ACTION

Useful feedback.
A clear next step.

Choose a step to see how “add more detail” becomes a change a child can make.

The guide helped me.
It was nice.

We know how the writer felt. We still need to see what the guide did.

What did the guide
do to help?

A focused question helps the child find a specific detail from their own story.

The guide made an announcement and asked me to wait beside the desk.

A concrete action helps the reader understand how the guide helped.
