Attended Xtreme Reading PD August 2015 at DPI in Raleigh, NC. Pam Leitzel was the Professional Developer for the PD.

I was excited to begin the Xtreme Reading program. We had a teacher in our school previously teach the program and it was extremely successful. On the first few days of the PD, one of the strategies that I learned was Word Mapping.

September 2016, I completed a PLC with Janet Atallah, SIM Specialist, then I starting using Word Mapping with my reading classes.

Here is what Janet said during our first coaching meeing: Laura has started teaching Word Mapping and has finished the Prefix introduction lesson. She did not have PD in Word Mapping this summer, but was given the materials by another teacher. I showed her how to score the pretest, and she will give it this week. We went over scoring and over some of the lessons. Laura will give the students progress charts and have them monitor their progress on the charts. I will send Laura the powerpoint, the Live Binder link, and some supplementary materials for Word Mapping. When we meet on Oct. 11, I will share some tier 2 vocabulary lists that can be utilized when students master the strategy. We will email so that I can answer any questions Laura may have about implementation. O
