Re: [MOSAIC] grant writing
Sue, Where are you? I am in Arkansas, and I just recently received a $3,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Humanities Council. I learned about the availability of the grant through a representative from the Secretary of State. You might could check there to see if there are some funds from your state that you may not have heard about. Over the past couple of years, I have also received several grants through our school's PTSA and our district's Education Foundation. Does your school have any funds through these organization? I am a grant writing fool! It pays off! I have probably gotten about 1,000 books for my classroom in the last two years! Good Luck!

[MOSAIC] Linda Dorn's Comprehensive Intervention Model
Hi, Susan, Thank you for your response to my posting about Linda Dorn's Comprehensive Intervention Model. They've moved the webcast link from the Reading Recovery home page to the following page: http:// www.readingrecovery.org/development/web_conference/index.asp. Unfortunately, Reading Recovery requires a registration fee to view each webcast. The webcast is well worth the money - it includes a Power Point presentation and video clips detailing the use of an assessment wall that have helped us to visualize how this alternative RtI model looks.

Re: [MOSAIC] text length
Another short text argument is that you guarantee wide exposure in terms of genre and author. With our struggling population, wide exposure means we are more likely to hit upon the trigger, the hook, the real reader bear trap!

Re: [MOSAIC] text length
My take is that short pieces are terrific for modeling, but that short pieces can also include wet-your-whistle excerpts. When whole class access counts, short text make for easy differentiation as you can vary text difficulty and for striving readers, 3 pages of pushing hard is doable where as 300 results in shutdown or acting out. All that said, endurance is import and book clubs matter. SSR is so important...
