I checked out the Interactive Read Aloud books, why are they so
expensive?

You're right, those books are an excellent resource as is Debbie
Miller's book,
Reading with Meaning. I purchased Interactive Read Alouds, Linking
Standards,
Fluency, and Comprehension for grades 2/3 and 4/5 by Linda Hoyt. It is
published by Heinemann. There are comprehension, vocabulary, story
elements,
literary language, literary elements, genre, and writing, reader's
theater
lessons included. I've found that this is a jumping off point for many
of the
teachers in my district. As they study the lessons, they begin to
develop other
lessons that extend the learning.

There are great lists in the Keene and Zimmerman book, 7 Keys to
comprehension, as well as in Mosaic of Thought,, and Harvey and
Goudvais's book Strategies That work. We used these to select the books
that we have in our baskets for teacher use as mentor texts with our
work here at the school on reading comprehension and strategies. You
will find that many can be used to teach more than one strategies, and
the important thing is always to model, model, model for kids.
We also found the website 'Into the Book' very helpful for staff,
students and parents.
Good luck.

I am looking for a list of picture books and the comprehension
strategies that I could teach from the book. There must be a list
somewhere. Thanks!

Subject: [MOSAIC] reading schemes
I am in a new school that does not have everyone teaching reading in
the same
way. The curriculum coordinator is looking at bringing in a reading
scheme to
ensure that instruction is more consistent across grade levels. We
have
classroom libraries but there is concern that implicit teaching of
strategies is
not really happening. What do you think about taking this approach
with
getting into a reading scheme which still has the leveled books but is
more
directed about how to teach what and when? Experience with a good
program or
the name of a school or district I could visit to see it first hand
would also
be appreciated. Thank you for your help with this one.
