What are Before-During-After Reading Strategies?

Reading involves connecting new text to that which is already understood (prior knowledge). BDA strategies are used to get students to activate existing knowledge, thereby creating a mental framework to which new text, terms, ideas, etc. can be attached. This mental framework is begun before reading even begins, strengthened as students interact with the text during the reading, and reflected upon after reading as students incorporate what they have just read into their core knowledge. Key processes used throughout BDAs are writing, conversation and reading.

Writer’s Workshop

A stable, predictable format for writing that balances instruction and modeling with adequate time for composing, sharing and publishing. A constant, sustained time for writing is set aside each day. Through modeled writing and discussion about it, students learn about the recursive nature of the writing process. The workshop consists of time for a mini-lesson, status of the class, writing/conferencing/discussing, and ends with “author’s chair”.
