Annie Pumphrey, K-5 Math Coach, Sudbury MA

(The 3 Reads) routine has been a way…for meaningful coaching that is not just about implementing a new product/program. I’ve modeled it now in 3 different classrooms, and teachers have taken the routine and run with it.  Students keep commenting to me in the hall telling me they read a problem 3 times following the routine in their head. My favorite was a 3rd grader who has received math support from a special educator since 1st grade. She happily came up to me and said, “I did 3 Reads today! I knew what the problem was about and what I was supposed to do all by myself! …my teacher was so happy because I figured out what to do without her!” How great is that?!?  Her confidence was soaring, … and she could figure out the problem independently.
