Funny that this should be posted. This is exactly what we are now discussing in our school. I teach third grade and my kids have been taught the strategies since kindergarten. I have been wondering about the same question. There doesn't seem to be much differentiation between the grades other than the reading material itself changes and hopefully student understanding deepens and inferential thinking is strengthened. I feel like our kids are getting strategy instruction in place of the foundation that they used to get in the lower grades i.e. how to hold a pencil correctly, how to form letters and numbers, phonics and spelling instruction, what makes a complete sentence, what a margin is, what it means to indent. I could go on and on...

As a teacher coach, I have been questioning how strategy lesson should look different across K-5. In our system, we take a strategy a month to focus on. The teachers that I work with and I have started a discussion about how we should be doing different lessons at each grade level. Have any of you addressed this in your schools and what did it look like? Are there any resources out there for us to use? Thanks so much:-) Kendra Carroll Elementary Teacher Coach Email Disclaimer: Please be advised that the contents of this message and any reply may be subject to disclosure under North Carolina law.
