Re: [MOSAIC] Read Naturally
I use it one grade level above for students who I want to increase their fluency. It really works well.

I have only two computers and the students who need the practice do the Read Naturally during their computer rotation, but also come in before and after school at times for additional practice. I've never used it online.

It is being suggested as a way to track fluency on line. Can it be managed in classrooms with only one or two computers?

[MOSAIC] setting a purpose for reading
Pat, Several years ago when I taught 6th - 8th Title I reading, I used a short passage to illustrate the different purposes and interpretations we have for reading. It was a passage about two youngsters who skip school and go to one boy's house. It describes the house vividly. (It would also be good for visualization for older grades.) In the first read, the student underlined what he/she thought was important (with no prelude by the teacher). In the second read, the student highlighted in pink what would be important if he/she was a burglar. In the third read, the student highlighted in yellow what he/she thought was important if they were a prospective home buyer. My students loved it because it really brought home the different perspectives each of us brings to the table that sets our purpose for reading. If you are interested, reply and I will fax it to you or I can e-mail it if you prefer.
