Regarding phonics instruction- has anyone ever heard of SIPPS? I have been using it for several years. It allows me to assess students and work with small leveled groups. Although the lessons are laid out I don't really think of it as a program because I just use and adapt what is appropriate for my students. I meet with each group for only about 15 minutes, and I have found that it is very easy for me to build on when I am conferring in reader's and writer's workshop or doing guided reading lessons. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org
