Re: [MOSAIC] Just Right Books for Proficient Decoders
Joanne, I have the same problem and I haven't addressed it yet. I just told them to read what they are interested in by browsing through the chapters or pictures. Now that I'm thinking about it again, what about having them read from the middle and then ask them a deeper question about the text, and checking comprehension like you would decoding skills. Do you think that would work? I'm going to try it tomorrow and I'll post how that went. I do have three reading at high third grade level. Or, (another thought) teaching them to read only what they really would be interested in reading. Like a favorite subject matter, or person they would like to know about. If they like ballet, then books featuring characters that dance, if they like horses, then books about kids who ride, etc. I'm just thinking of what I did with my own kids. Take them to Borders, look through the books, pick a subject they like and then choose a book. If you have lot's of books in your room, they can do it often, or you can just do it in your library.

Re: [MOSAIC] Lexiles
I'm not sure what some of you might think...but lexiles and levels are 2 very different things. WE became very frustrated in trying to do a correlations between the two. We gave up. I think that some classroom libraries are leveled and kids are in leveled books in guided reading and it just might limit kids in the library.
