I totally agree with Jennifer's advice on the books.
-----Original Message----- From: Paula Rushia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group <mosaic@literacyworkshop.org> Sent: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 8:29 am Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Help. .(again) At my school, our Reading With Meaning book club was open to all grade levels, and as a fifth grade teacher, I'm so glad I joined it. RWM clearly explains how to teach the strategies described in Mosaic. I found it easy to envision how Miller's lessons would look in a fifth grade classroom. Paula [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had a similar experience...intermediate teachers were turned off by the primary focus. One group picked Mosaic rather than Strategies That Work (it looked shorter) but found it too abstract. They wanted practical. Those that did Strategies That Work were intimidated at first by the size of the book but found it the most practical and applicable of all...

What do you all think? Also, as far as starting the group. . . What do you think would be the best possible way of advertising? We all know that not every teacher is open to new ideas and I really want to present it in the best light possible.
