Joy, I have always wanted to do this with my first graders but I sometimes have a hard time with my non/struggling readers especially when you send them off to read on their own. Anyone care to explain how this would look in first grade? Joy posted: Here's what I'm thinking, you start with a Read Aloud/Think Aloud. Then you ask the students what they notice about your thinking. Ask them to define what you are doing. Send them off to read, and conference with them individually, being more explicit with those who need the explicit instruction. I've noticed that frequently the students near the one I'm conferencing with will join in the conversation, or at least listen carefully. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
