Snapshots The DVD

With Snapshots the book, Linda Hoyt changed the way tens of thousands of teachers viewed and used literacy minilessons. Now, with Snapshots The DVD, Linda demonstrates how minilessons unfold in read aloud and guided reading, creating a model that can empower instruction across all curricular areas. Linda takes viewers inside the classroom so they can see for themselves how she conducts minilessons with children. Working in both whole and small groups, she moves from explicit demonstrations and think alouds into guided and independent practice. In the process, she demonstrates: a complete lesson from start to finish key components of a literacy minilesson, including length a model of how minilessons can strengthen read alouds and guided reading ideas for whole-class and small-group instruction. Teachers and staff developers alike will benefit from this unique look at a master teacher and children at work. Running time: 40 minutes
