Monitoring for Meaning

These focus lessons support children in noticing when meaning breaks down. Additionally, these lessons provide strategies to repair or enhance meaning when necessary. Monitoring for meaning lessons are appropriate for all grade levels but lessons should be selected and modified to meet the needs of your students and grade level. Lessons to the right are in no particular sequence.
