Jane, Building Blocks is for Kindergarten. Have you read Reading With Meaning by Debbie Miller? Her book is like a road map for primary grades. I believe her class was second grade, but you can adapt what she does for your little ones.

It is so much fun hearing from people the paths they have taken. Pat has been a blessing in my life. I don't know if you have read Pat's and my newest book, Beyond Retelling Toward Higher Level Thinking and Big Ideas, by Cunningham and Smith, published by Pearson, Allyn and Bacon. It is a great comprehension teaching tool that many teachers have found helpful. deb Here comes my usual question....what grade levels is this for? will I find it useful for me in Kindergarten? I know this is where retelling and comprehension get their foundation. I ordered To Understand at the end of last week and got it yesterday. WOW! It isn't 6AM yet, and I have already been reading this morning. WOW! Jane in SC :-) **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
