S.O.S. READING STRATEGIES Student Owned Strategies for Reading as Thinking in Content Areas This page began as an inservice project and became the layout for the official SOS page for a couple of years. This page was mirrored on the SOESD server during that time. Then the Southern Oregon ESD wished to handle their pages internally and my work was no longer what they wished to use. Therefore this page no longer mirrors the official page which is located at www.sosreading.org The official SOS site began to be handled internally at the SOESD in June of 2004 and was revamped to reflect what their in-house webmasters wanted to do. I enjoyed tremendously being the official webmaster for them while it lasted. It was a huge ego booster. I understand the ease of being able just to communicate with someone right in your own office to do updates and such. This page will remain here for anyone who wishes to use it as a resource but is in no way official anymore. Feel free to E-MAIL me to let me know if this page has been of assistance to you. Our goal is to improve student reading skills across the content areas. To your left are templates for some of the S.O.S. Strategies. You will see the template for a Think-Aloud. You can make this into an overhead and use it to model your thinking as you read, or have students come up and model their metacognition. Another use for the Think-Aloud would be to copy it and give it to students to record their thinking/ questions/ comments as they are reading silently. Another template is the K-A-U Pre-Reading Vocabulary strategy. Obviously, you will want to change the words. Just remember to focus on no more than 5-7 key words. All of the other templates are from the Pre-Reading (before you read a story or selection) actvities for your students: 3 versions of the Anticipation Guide, the K-W-L activities (including the Directed Reading/Thinking Activity), the Word Splash (change the words to whatever suits the unit or chapter you are introducing) and the Previewing Text activity (remember to modify question #4 for your assignment). The Anticipation/Reaction guide works especially well in a classroom where students are writing papers where they have to cite sources. Anticipation Guides are especially fun to use with controversial material Also, remember these templates serve a double purpose; not only will they help your students assimilate the content, but if you require they be turned in you can use them to assess their learning for a grade, too.
