I am working on my masters. My paper is focusing on the impact of guided

There are some excellent resources out there for teaching letters (and other
stuff) using children's names. One is Beyond the Names Chart: Using
Children's Names for Word Study by Debbie Diller and I can't remember the other
titles. But I'm pretty sure a couple more come from Scholastic.

Pat Cunningham has a few lessons using children's names and I think and in one
of Lucy Calkins' books on reading (can't remember the title) there's a lesson
on this, too.

Hi.
There's also Cunningham's Building Blocks, the kindergarten version of 4

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying this holiday weekend.
This past Friday the Diane Rehm show on NPR had two guests who talked
about the demise of thinking in our schools. I found myself reaching for
the phones when they started talking about teaching. I wanted to scream,

Hi Susan,
I just did some research, along with some other grad. students and two profs.,
on guided reading in first grade classrooms.

guided reading. There is research that supports reading recovery methods, which

Thanks in advance,
