Hi -
I sent this before and it bounced back to me. I am not sure if it went through
so here it is again!
I have been an avid reader and not a participant of this listserve but I =
need your input on a problem that has come up at school. I am a Title 1 =
teacher in an elementary school. I have teamed with teachers for Reader's =
Workshop, asking them to let me teach the lessons for a year - if they =
were active participants - and then they could implement Reader's Workshop =
in their own classroom the next year. I love it for two reasons - I spent =
time with the kids (my favorite!) AND I was able to model daily for =
teachers. Any teacher who participated with me became an advocate for =
Reader's Workshop in our building. Now the problem - other teachers are =
asking for research that supports RW for reading instruction. Any ideas =
or places where I can begin to look? I thought I remember someone posting =
information about this but can't remember where or when. I am sorry if =
this seems a bit jumbled - I am on my way to my daughter's volleyball game =
but this has been weighing on my mind.
Thanks for any input -
Diane

I get the "Meet the Illustrator" emails from the Amarillo Library. This
week, the author/illustrator is David Ezra Stein, who has a new book out
called, Leaves. I am linking an image from the email. I like these emails
because they are illustrated interviews, so the illustrator uses drawings to
answer the questions:

How about the idea of "turn and talk"???
I think a lot of teachers don't know how to teach kids to converse
productively...and giving the kids time to talk really does help them
internalize
strategies.

The reading specialists in my district are preparing a year-long staff
development experience on comprehension strategies based on Tanny McGregor's
fabulous book, Comprehension Connections. We have pretty much plotted out the
year, with a strategy introduced?each month at a?staff meeting,?but next month
we
have an inservice presentation to do that will be attended by most of the
elementary teachers, but not all. So...we are wondering what we can do in
about 60-90 minutes that would be valuable, but would not "leave some teachers
behind" if they missed the session.
I am thinking about a model lesson to demonstrate the Gradual Release of
Responsibility model. We will not have time to do this specifically while
introducing the other strategies. I am also thinking of a focus on questioning
or
inference, since those are the strategies that I feel help us most on our... I
hate to say this...state tests.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Dave,
It's me - Marg from Saskatchewan. I have a big favour to ask you. You once
sent me some ideas of how to use textmapping with "Good night Gorilla" and
another book which I can't remember the title of - it's at work and I'm at
home!! Anyway, I printed off your ideas and between renovations at home and
too many things going on at work, I have misplaced them. I'm wondering if you
could send me the ideas for those books again. I would like to share them with
a Kindergarten group as we talk about comprehension strategies.
Also, I have not forgotten about doing some writing about an experience(s)
using textmapping. It's on my list of to-do's.
Hope your writing is coming along.
Thanks.
Marg Epp

Help! I'd like to do the file folder schema lesson and I was trying to read
up on it in Miller's Reading with Meaning but I can't find it. Can someone
tell me what page(s) it's on? TIA

We will never know what Marie thought about learning styles at the emergent
stage unless she wrote something before this past April 13. A very sad day,
indeed.

Oh, I was writing in response to a post about what Marie CARBO said about
learning styles, not Marie Clay. Someone was making the point that everyone had
different learning styles, and we'd need to know that in order to teach
effectively. While I would certainly agree with that, I noted that Marie Carbo
does indeed write about varying learning styles in language arts for older
kids, but says something very different about children at ages where they are
typically emergent readers.
