SGM Summer Reading List - Part 2

by Sheila Zagula July 28, 2016 1 min read

Summer Reading ArtWe received many positive comments about our blog last week, Story Grammar Marker Summer Reading List, which featured ten resources focusing on the Complete Episode. This week, we have included eight previous blogs that focus on the concept of Character. Please review them all, as they span across multiple grade levels.

For many years, I was fortunate to work in a school setting (K-5) that embraced Braidy the StoryBraid, the Story Grammar Marker, and the ThemeMaker across all grade levels. This helped develop teacher collaboration and created a school wide common language for both students and adults. Using the linguistic framework of the SGM approach, coupled with the visual, tactile and kinesthetic tools, students were able to develop the necessary skills for communication across the curriculum.

Take some time to check out this sampling of Character blogs that demonstrate the versatility of the SGM! There are many more resources to support the use of our SGM tools available free of charge on our MindWing website.
