Rosie, How did you teach 3rd grade? I would up the ante in what you did in 3rd. I love the book Test Talk. Take a look at it. It is all about embedding test taking strategies in what we already do. I think it is a good fit for people hanging on to reading workshop (like us). Sue

I currently teach fourth grade, after having taught third for many years. I am really struggling with reading this year. I am very tied in respect to how I may teach reading. I am required to have a 30 minute whole group reading session, with 60 minutes of station time. During stations I am pulling small groups of students, while students work independently on their station activities. Test scores are of course, the be all, end all in my school and district. How can I teach the necessary skills and strategies within this framework. BTW, we are using Houghton Mifflin and are supposed to be teaching with fidelty. I have already ignored that particulary demand!
