I agree with you Debbie. It makes perfect sense to give the spelling inventory test and see exactly what students need. I haven't pulled groups yet. I am in Grade 6 and I want to pilot it with anyone who wants to give it a go in our middle school. We have readers at level 3.0 on our DRAs. Some of our teachers needed to go into the K-3 DRA kit to assess students. So I think to move our students forward at this level, WTW will be quite appropriate. If there is someone on this list who would like to pilot it along with me, I would be willing to chat with once a week or so, let me know. Maybe we can communcate via a wiki space through Wetpaint. I have given my students the upper spelling inventory so far and I am trying to figure out where to go from here. Thanks, Michele Polselli NBCT Literacy Coordinator & Grade 6 ELA & Humanities (I don't want to take the focus away on the mosaic listserve because this site is notable for comprehension strategies and when I read the email I hope it is related to that.) ---- Debbie Goodis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
============= I would also be interested. I'm using it, but I just started this year and I'm only a little familiar. I love it though. It makes perfect sense. I gave the spelling inventory test and it feels so great to know exactly what my students need. We do the sorts, but I haven't pulled groups yet. I feel like it's a lot of reading and I haven't had the time to read the book. Debbie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
