Re: [MOSAIC] Just Finished Readacide and The Reading Zone What do youthink the implications are...
Hi Jan, Just wanted to say that I saved my picture books after I finished teaching in the elementary school after ten years...I dragged them around for four years and moved them when I moved twice during that timeit was horrible giving them up..but I have no regrets...my students were reading or writing from the minute they came into my first grade classroom until they left..I taught a modified Jeanette Veatch...individualized reading approach...students chose what they read daily...and were always finding books that I didn't even know that I had on the shelves (I got most of my collection from garage sales). In the last four years I have run a summer literacy intervention for ELL students...you could always donate your books to an inner-city school ...I had book drives every spring to collect books for my summer kids who brought home a free book everyday during the three week intervention:) It was magic:) -Original Message- From: Jan Sanders To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Sent: Sat, Jun 27, 2009 10:48 am Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Just Finished Readacide and The Reading Zone What do youthink the implications are... I think answers are formed by gathering information and it is a long often messy process. It does take lots of thinking, reflecting, and evaluation. That said, I just retired this year and I brought home all my picture books as I was not ready to give them away -or sell them. As I was putting them on shelves at home, I stopped and reread quite a few of them. The thought going through my mind time and time again was wow, I should have let them read more, as books can truly teach and give us experiences. I felt sad that they missed stories. I felt sad that I only read one story (sometimes 2) to my class a day. If I were still teaching I would make sure to get in 2 or 3 a day. I wanted my class back just so they could have a chance to experience all the stories they missed. I gave my students 40 minutes a day of independent reading time where they read mostly at their level. They had full access to my library, yet there are 100's of books still waiting for them to read. I do believe kids need more time to just read. I only had them respond to their reading twice a week in their reader's notebook. I learned a lot about my students through conferring and sharing. I think the comprehension strategies are important for kids to know about and use. Accomplished readers often don't know what they are doing when they read, so it is nice to teach them about it, have them become aware of it, and name it. Struggling readers need to know there are things they can do to help the text have meaning to them. It is exciting to watch a kid realize they can make the story into a movie in their mind to help them understand. And when they say things like "I didn't know you could do that", you know you have helped them as a reader and a thinker. Sometimes I feel like the comprehension strategies get beaten to death.

[MOSAIC] Focus on Adolescent literacy to chnage Reading First funding
Can anyone understand why Tim Shanahan doesn't want to change to “language structure” and “meaning in context”? Was he one of the original authors of National Reading Panel? Excerpt for Ed Weekly... Timothy Shanahan, a professor of urban education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said he favors the boost in funding for grades 4-12 and for school literacy programs in general. “It should mean that more schools could participate, which is a good thing,” he said. But he said the draft bill reflects some changes in wording from Reading First legislation that aren’t an improvement, because the new wording won’t be well understood by most teachers. The new wording requires K-3 programs to provide “strategic and explicit instruction using phonological awareness, phonic decoding, vocabulary, language structure, and meaning in context.” Mr. Shanahan pointed out that “language structure” and “meaning in context” replace the words “reading fluency” and “reading comprehension” in Reading First. One of the Senate aides said the replacements were made to reflect the latest terminology that educators are using. But Mr. Shanahan said the terminology in Reading First would be more familiar to and better understood by teachers. -Original Message- From: cnjpal...@aol.com To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Mon, Jun 29, 200 9 6:19 am Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Just Finished Readacide and The Reading Zone What do you think t...
