Using R.A.N. to learn about Weather

In Mrs. Dobronski’s first grade class we are learning all about weather using the comprehension strategy R.A.N.  R.A.N. stands for Reading and Analyzing Nonfiction text. This strategy activates prior knowledge before reading, sets a purpose for reading or listening, tracks new learning, teaches students to confirm their facts as evidence from the text they are reading or listening to and students raise new questions based on the information gathered.
