Re: [MOSAIC] For Barb - I would appreciate very much seeing your PP -
Also check out Lexia Reading Program . It is also a program to help readers who are behind. Buy licenses for each child.

I'm in Renton. I'd like to look at the book you refereced. Is Amazon the best place to search or on the publisher's website? THANKS! The book that some of us in my school district read is Annual Growth, Catch-Up Growth by Lynn Fielding, Nancy Kerr, and Paul Rosier (2007). It is the story of how the Kennewick, Washington school district met their district goal of getting 90% of their students to grade level by the end of third grade. The book outlines a mathematical model for figuring how much instructional time is needed to get a child that is reading three years below grade level to reading at grade level. The book is a pretty interesting read, although many people on this list serve will disagree with its premise. The district also has a program that services the city's preschool population that helps better prepare those children for kindergarten. The district gives the NWEA MAP test and focuses on reading, math, and writing. That is their priority. As you read their story, compare their cut score for proficiency to your district's cut score. You can also Google Kennewick, Washington School district and find out more information. That will help you a lot with your research. I also have some power point presentations from the district that I can email you privately if you would like.

Re: [MOSAIC] Students who need to try
You may want to try: "These are the expectations/requirements to pass this class" "Consider what it my be like if you don't move on to high school because you didn't meet the criteria" --Original Message-- From: wr...@att.net Sender: mosaic-bounces+leadteacher13=yahoo@literacyworkshop.org To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies EmailGroup ReplyTo: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: [MOSAIC] Students who need to try Sent: Nov 15, 2009 2:19 PM I teach middle school. Every year I have some students who would rather have me do their work. They don't seem to want to work with the material themselves. When I have said something like, "I know you can do this. Give it a try," the student usually gets more stubborn about being unable to do the work. Does anyone have specific ideas about the words to use with middle school students? Thanks!

Re: [MOSAIC] Summarizing again
Hi, Try the Cornell Notetaking System. My students seem to find it quite useful. Regards --Original Message-- From: suzteac...@aol.com Sender: mosaic-bounces+leadteacher13=yahoo@literacyworkshop.org To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org ReplyTo: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: [MOSAIC] Summarizing again Sent: Nov 15, 2009 6:37 PM Thanks you for the responses. I am going to try the ideas and plow along. I am wondering about adding student thinking to the summaries. We ask them constantly to think... should a summary ask them to do some thinking? I know that I have seen an organizer for note-taking (I think for determining importance) that asks students to write down the important ideas in one column, interesting facts, in the second column, and the student's thinking in the third column. I am not sure if this is a good organizer for a summary. Should summaries have interesting details or just main ideas?
