Olga, What grade are you teaching? My school is not Reading First, so I don't think I can help you.

And I can do differnt minilessons for different kids and have appropriate manipulatives for practice readily available. The lessons seem to be a combination of all the best things from a variety of programs such as project read, 4 blocks, CELL, etc, I need to teach hands on and feel that students are learning when working independtly---Well i may have rambled---but what do you think now?? The resources cd apparently comes in doc format so that it is easily modifiable. olga --- Joy wrote: > Olga, > If you want to build vocabulary, then I would > suggest you investigate Marzano and Pickering's > book, Building Academic Vocabualry.
