Free template from www.brainybetty.com Why Textmapping? "Good readers are active readers....Good readers typically look over the text before they read, noting such things as the structure of the text and text sections that might be most relevant to their reading goals." Source: Duke, Nell K., and Pearson, P. David 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

What teachers say about textmapping "Active, global modes of teaching reading comprehension are rare.... This is a great way to address the weaknesses in reading comprehension, and to teach active/metacognitive reading skills." - Reading Specialist; Clayton, MO 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

What teachers say about textmapping "This has great value to help visually organize text that some LD, etc. children just don't see on their own. This is a skill oftentimes assumed by teachers, especially at the upper levels!" - Support Services; Stamford, CT 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

What teachers say about textmapping "This is a great strategy for visual kinesthetic learners. You have come up with the perfect platform for teaching traditional techniques. This is an in-context meaningful way to help students know themselves as learners." - Reading Resource Teacher; West DesMoines, IA 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

Free template from www.brainybetty.com What is Textmapping? A graphic organizer technique Using Scrolls Colored markers Mapping techniques Focusing on Pre-reading Text organization © 2004 David Middlebrook reprinted by permission 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

Free template from www.brainybetty.com Implementation Scrolls are the foundation Scrolls enable students to see and comprehend the whole text at once. The text organization is explicit.

Free template from www.brainybetty.com Making a Scroll Copy the text Magazine article Textbook passage Story Poem Tape the Pages End-to-End © 2004 David Middlebrook reprinted by permission 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

Free template from www.brainybetty.com How to Begin Introduce technique by taping a scroll to the blackboard. Scroll and blackboard together form an extended marking area. 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

Free template from www.brainybetty.com How to Begin Single sheet provides common focus. Gather students near the board if necessary. 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

Introducing the Technique Scroll and blackboard become a common text. Teacher “thinks aloud” and marks text and board to record thinking. Markings form a cumulative record of the lesson. 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com

Guided Practice Alternate Plan Put students in groups Model specific tasks while students write on their copies "Mark all of the vocabulary words." "Mark all of the questions." "Draw a box around each sub-section." "Mark those points on the scroll where there are scene-changes in the story". © 2004 Renee Goularte reprinted by permission 4/17/2017 Free template from www.brainybetty.com
