Kathy, Where do you teach? I teach in NJ and our core curriculum content standards for language arts are changing next year. Much of the change is based upon Mosaic of Thought. The elementary principals in my district are going to several workshops. My principal has ordered a copy of the book plus 7 keys to comprehension for book talks so the staff understands the philosophy. He also ordered the Daily Five and the CAFÉ book for everyone for management of the reading workshop. Alas, I'm not getting anything because I own all these books plus many others. I teach first grade so Debbie Miller's Reading with Meaning is one of my favorites. Felicia

I am a Reading Specialist in training and would like to begin working on building my professional Library. I would love to have informed opinions on what books are helpful to you personally, the teachers you work with and the children you may provide services to. I have a few books to start like Jim Trelease's Handbook for Reading Aloud and ARI assessment book. I want to buy a few at a time so I am ready when I finish my studies next year. Thanks for your help!
