Year long plan for CAFE strategies

#1

I teach 2nd grade and was wondering if anyone had a year- long plan outline for teaching the common core strategies that you could share. I know that you adjust after you assess the kids, but I would love to have help with a general outline.

#2

Have you heard or read about the Sisters’ rule of 6-5-4-3? Basically, it means the first 6 comprehesion strategies, the first 5 accuracy, first 4 fluency and first 3 vocabulary strategies are the ones everyone needs, so that narrows down a bit which ones to be sure to start with. Just keep in mind that your different strategy groups and individuals will need different lessons after you assess throughout the year :smile:

I’ve also attached a few links that you might want to check out. The first two relate to the common core/CAFE in general. The last link is a CAFE menu with CC correlations that may also help.
