[MOSAIC] forward from Gary
I am forwarding this from Gary: +++ Please advise. I am working with my teachers at grades K - 6 in adopting many of the principles of a Balanced Literacy program. We are following a lot of the work done by Fountas and Pinnell. A question and concern among many of the teachers is grading. Now that report cards have to be issued over the next week, teachers are questioning how we grade students in a B.L. classroom. Any guidance you can provide me is appreciated! My direct e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you.

Re: [MOSAIC] Miscue Analysis
It is my impression that miscue is performed when students are reading significantly longer passages than most in kindergarten can handle.

[MOSAIC] Miscue Analysis
Does anyone have a simple miscue analysis tool for use in a Kindergarten class. I am needing to implement this and would love to find one.

Re: [MOSAIC] off topic
This is a great suggestion...his books will have the research sited. You can also e-mail him from his site: http://www.jrichardgentry.com/ Lots of times these professors are happy to help us locate research. Dr. Steven Krashen did send me some information re: SSR when I requested it, so maybe Dr. Gentry will do the same. Good luck!

Re: [MOSAIC] Just Right Books for Proficient Decoders
Pam, that was a very thoughtful answer. Another consideration about book selection is that if a child is really interested in a topic, he might want to read a book a little harder than we think is appropriate. This might be just right for him for that time and he will work at reading it. Basically, I use the 5 finger (we want it fun to read) and retelling (make sure you can follow what is happening) method. Choosing independent level books should be an extension of learning to monitor reading. In The Comprehension Toolkit the use of easy, high interest books is suggested for teaching monitoring.

Re: [MOSAIC] Just Right Books for Proficient Decoders
Linda, I love your two questions added at the end of the 5 finger rule. It would work great in first grade cuz some of my kids don't recognize that they miscued or even skipped words... and as far as some of the fluent decoders they think because they are word calling they are reading. Your two questions are really introductory lessons placed authentically in reading workshop so that kids get they are supposed to think metacognitively... you're giving them schema before you even teach a lesson about metacognition.this makes so much more sense than teaching metacognition separately in a mini-lesson when kids are learning about other how well other strong readers read... if they have had the experience of trying to answer those question first and then all those voice in your head lessons I think the whole thing (picking a just right book as well as how do you think) would work much better than learning about a just right book and then saying in addition you must think about the voice in your head..which is unfortunately what I did Pam ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

Re: [MOSAIC] Just Right Books for Proficient Decoders
In grade 2, another problem I have with the 5 finger rule is that some kids don't know that they don't know a word. They either miscue a word that doesn't make sense or a nonsense word. So we added ask yourself, Does this make sense? Can I retell what I just read? It isn't perfect but it gets them to keep thinking if the book is a good fit/just right book to read. Many minilessons at the beginning of the year go into teaching kids to choose for independent reading. I'd like other ideas too on what helps in a workshop for grade 2.

Re: [MOSAIC] Just Right Books for Proficient Decoders
I'm looking forward to some answers also. I just taught my second graders to do this, but if there is a better system I want to know it. Debbie We have the perfect Group for you.
