Re: [MOSAIC] advanced kinders
Kathy--please tell me how to get ahold of the Choice Literacy newsletter. Thanks, all, for all of the ideas. Please keep them coming. From: Kathryn Smigen smig...@guilderlandschools.org To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 3:39:03 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] advanced kinders How about trying Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop with them. An excellent resource are books by Lucy Calkins, Leah Mermelstein, and Kathy Collins. The Choice Literacy newsletter is also an excellent source of info and sharing by educational colleagues. Sounds like these kids would be able to fly with some targeted modeling and mentor texts.

[MOSAIC] advanced kinders
Does anyone have any ideas for working with 2 advanced Kindergartners who are able to read end of 1st grade level according to the DRA? Our classroom reading progam is Macmillan Treasures which teaches a lot of phonics in Kindergarten. These children don't need this and must be bored sitting through this although teachers also include quite a bit of literature. We are looking for some things these 2 girls could do more independently while the other children are learning letters and sounds. We do have a TAG teacher but 1/2 hour once a week will just be enough time to get them started on something. Any ideas out there? ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

I think that conversation is the most neglected area in comprehension instruction. I find that when I jump too quickly into pencil and paper work, whether it's reading or writing, my students just don't do as well. I am most curious about the question she asked about teaching strategies to kids that are not developmentally appropriate. Did she elaborate her thinking on that? It is a question I have wondered from time to time, but then I pick up Reading With Meaning (with all those 1st graders) and figure it's just me! It sounds like it was a tremendous convention!

[MOSAIC] persuasive writing
We are going to be doing some persuasive writing in both 2nd and 3rd grade. I am wondering now if anyone can recommend any picture books that have a theme of persuading or even a section of the book being about a character trying to persuade another character to go along with his opinion. I have Because of Winn-Dixie and will use the part where Opal is persuading her father, the preacher, to keep the dog she found in the store. Any other ideas out there? Thanks in advance.

[MOSAIC] prediction
Thank you for all the suggestions for good books for predictions. I have been reading them and loving them. I love the mood of The Widow's Broom, but I didn't understand the end. If the witch had painted it white, why did the middle part of the story say that it went up in flames and turned to ashes. I don't get it. What am I missing?? - Tonight's top picks.

[MOSAIC] prediction
Does anyone have titles of good picture books to teach predicting and confirming or changing predictions for primary grades (grade 2) I do know that almost any story can be used for this but I was looking in particular for short books in which some predictions would not turn out as expected-that is, I don't want everything to be so predictable.
