Hi You might want to start mapping out what's expected in each grade level. If you start with the Kindergarten team and then have first grade do it and so on, each grade could see what was expected the previous year. Then they can take that and build upon it. You would end up with a school wide curriculum map that teachers can refer to each year.

A new strategey is introduced monthly. And once again several grade levels are using the same materials and books to teach the strategies during guided reading. How do you handle this situation? I believe that each year we should be "digging a little deeper" while teaching the strategies, not reteaching something that the kids learned the year before. How can we change this practice....we have to make our teaching better for our students if we want to help them become successful readers.
