TRANSACTING WITH TEXT:LET’S REVIEW!
• Transacting with Text- Reading, listening to someone reading aloud, discussing a text being read, raising questions about a text that was read, joining with a partner or a small group to respond to a text.
• Shared Reading- teacher reads, students follow• Mark reading- highlight and select what is important to you (text rendering)• Write – what stands out• Pair/Share- Read what you wrote; then discuss with partner• Share- in large group
• WHAT COULD THIS LOOK LIKE WITH MATHEMATICAL TEXT IN THE FORM OF WORD PROBLEMS??

PROCEDURE FOR WORD PROBLEMS:Transacting with Text
• #1- Shared reading of problem• #2- Text rendering- highlight what is important to you,
knowing that you have to respond to the question• #3- Turn and Talk- what did we highlight and why?• #4- Revisit the text: What is it that I need to find out in
this problem? I need to find….• #5- Revisit the text: Plan your strategy for solving the
problem• #6- Solve it!• #7- Turn and Talk- Does it make sense? • #8- Write a response. Explain why your answer
makes sense using support.
