How to Teach Setting | Writing About Reading Series

How do you teach setting in a way that is simple, meaningful, and easy for young learners to understand?

In this episode of The Education Connection, I'm sharing exactly how I teach setting through my Writing About Reading framework. You'll learn my step-by-step routine for introducing the skill with a mentor text, engaging students in meaningful discussions, modeling the writing process, and gradually releasing responsibility so students can complete the activity independently.

I'll also explain how this routine helps me assess student understanding while creating opportunities to meet with small groups for additional support.

Whether you're a first-grade teacher or work with other primary students, you'll walk away with a practical lesson you can use in your classroom right away.

In this episode you'll learn:

How to introduce setting with a simple anchor chart
How to use a mentor text to model thinking
A four-day gradual release routine for success
How to use writing as a reading comprehension assessment
Ways to support students who need extra practice
