Adrienne Greer came to speak >>>at our Primary Teachers meeting a few months ago, and she's coming back >>>in March. She is a wonderful speaker! Her book has a great list of >>>books for teaching each strategy and gives you lots of insight into how >>>introduce each strategy, how to do the think alouds, and how to get the >>>kids to practice using the strategy on their own. She has also created >>>her own set of posters which I bought at the workshop. It is a head and >>>shoulders drawing of a boy or a girl, and then she has puzzle pieces >>>which fit inside the brain of the child - labeled with each of these >>>strategies. This poster shows the kids that they should have a "busy >>>brain" while they are reading. I introduced the poster and the various >>>strategies, and the kids started getting it right away, without much >>>more than the introduction. We are now talking about our read alouds >>>and other reading like never before, which so much more depth and >>>meaning. It's really exciting. I definitely recommend this book - >>>inexpensive, easy to read, and fun to use with the kids! >>> >>>Tammy >>>Surrey, British Columbia, Canada >>> >>>Jennifer Benbrook wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>>>Thank you!!
