Benefits of SPMs Students reflected on their reading preference, identified different genres, composed summaries, drafted sequences, used their knowledge of story structure to deconstruct text and turn it into a new creation, rehearsed the script focusing on expressive and meaningful reading, proficiently wielded multiple technologies, and offered their unique understandings of text.

Consider reading preferences (Pachtman & Wilson, 2006) Explore genres (Risko & Walker-Dalhouse, 2011). Visually represent sequences of text (Naughton, 2008), Compose summaries (NICHD, 2000) Transform texts into dialogue ideal for movie production (Culham, 2011; Dorfman & Cappelli, 2007; Young & Rasinski, 2011) Students utilize software to produce a movie (National Governors Association for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School Officers, 2010) Literacy Skills and Processes Possible Research
