Consistently Teach Idioms Throughout the Year ; Opens a new tab
I think idioms are taught best in little bits throughout the year. Teachers should take the time to do an idiom of the day or idiom of the week. There are apparently an estimated 25,000 different idioms used in the English language! Breaking down idioms into manageable, yet consistent bits helps readers to increase their understanding of language as a whole, increasing their competency as speakers, readers and writers in general.

Reading Comprehension Watch the Movie Before Reading the Book- Executive Functioning
Teachers and parents have often rewarded kids by sharing the movie version of a book after reading a book together. While this is a fun way to wrap up experiencing a book, this does not have to be the only way to read a book. Watch the Movie First and then read the book supports executive functioning in the reading classroom. There are a few reasons why you might want to push your students to watch the movie (or TV series) first before reading a book.
