Description

Language stems, thinking stems, sentence starters…there are a lot of different names for this incredible teaching strategy! When I am planning for the needs of my ESL students, I think of them as language stems. When I am planning how to make my students thinking go one step further, I call them thinking stems. To my students, I call them our “Super Sentence Starters”. When I created my fifth anchor chart of stems, I realized it was time to consolidate. So…I created a helpful little book with all of the starters we use in my classroom. We have starters for talking about math strategies, summarizing reading, predicting, inferring, comparing/contrasting, stating opinions, book talk, and evidence proof.

After laminating each page, I bound them into a little book. I often refer to these pages while teaching mini lessons. But sometimes I prop a sentence stem book on each table group when students are working with partners or groups.
