Most of us are already doing this. But I thought the LETS Connect strategy was an acronym worth sharing: The L.E.T.S. Connect strategy (Billmeyer, 2006) engages the mind of the learner during a read-aloud or a video. Periodically the activity is stopped so paired learners can share with each other what they are thinking about the topic at that moment. L.E.T.S. Connect is an acronym with the following meaning: L = Listen to the selection. E = Engage with the content. T = Think about the ideas and details, vocabulary, or sequence of events. S = Say something to your partner about your thoughts. Connect = Do all of the above steps and connect with the author, content, and other students thoughts. Connections are any related thoughts that enter the listeners mind. Although the L.E.T.S. Connect strategy emphasizes thinking interdependently, it also reinforces the Habit of Mind listening with understanding and empathy.
