We are trying the same thing this year, but have not started yet. We are doing the metacognition lesson from McGregor first, then a review of the gradual release of responsibility model, next Friday. I am doing connections for my lesson with the K-1 teachers (we divided them into grade level groups) with either The Relatives Came or The Seashore Book.
For the rest of the year, we hope to introduce a strategy each month and do model lessons in some classrooms. Best of luck to you. Feel free to email me off list for more info. (Better wait to ask after Oct. 12, so I have some more insight.)

Hi fellow reading enthusiasts, I was recently awarded an amazing opportunity by my coordinator: the chance to present the comprehension strategies to our k-5 team in hopes of adopting them across the grade levels. I am extremely excited about this as I have been pushing for a reading coach position at my school (there currently isn't even the position in my school, so i'd be the first) and I feel like this presentation will be kind of like an interview. Currently, I am the ONLY one who is fluent, even familiar in the comprehension strategies as well as all the other amazing books out there including Miller, McGregor, Zimmerman, etc. so it is extremely important that I am very well prepared. I have to plan a year long staff development plan, with an introductory presentation of the readers workshop model, and a different strategy each month. I'd like to provide the teachers with sample lessons, anchor charts, and videos of my own teaching. I remember reading on this email group of someone having to do the same thing and I'd LOVE if you or anyone else, could share some information with me (ideas, plans, resources, etc). Thank you for your help!
