Deb - It's a great book with some great ideas, but as Kelly said,
"What ends up happening though is that teachers then are only teaching to
those questions and there is so much more to reading than
answering open-ended responses. Kelly AB"
it can also be very limiting.?? It basically takes open-ended questions that
are typically asked on the CT Mastery Test, and provides two things: #1 - the
reading strategy behind being able to respond to the question, and #2, ?
strategies for the written response.? The danger is that folks focus on the
written response BEFORE really thinking about what has to occur DURING reading
in order to even answer the question.
Nancy Boyles does provide great picture book titles, fiction and nonfiction, to
support the thinking, which is helpful for teachers who are not yet comfortable
unpacking the picture books in their own collection.? What I do like about her
suggested titles is that they are well written, by a variety of authors, many
are newer titles and are multicultural.??
Hope that helps.
Martha
