[MOSAIC] Primary Comprehension Toolkit
Hi all- I just left the IRA Exhibitor Hall with my newly purchased Primary Comprehension Toolkit. I have heard some wonderful things about the toolkit being used in the upper elementary. So far, I am the only one in my school implementing the strategies based on Harvey and Goudvis ( I know, I can hear the gasps already! ). But, I heard of this toolkit that may help my planning. My hopes are that I can pilot it in my classroom and administration may catch on. Does anyone have any thoughts on the toolkit? Suggestions or ideas for its use?

[MOSAIC] DailyFive/ReadersWorkshop
Hi all- Does anyone have a sample schedule they use that incorporates both a Daily Five model and Readers Workshop Model using comprehension strategy instruction? I would like to see how the two is integrated. If you can share, it would be most appreciated.

Re: [MOSAIC] Reading grades
Jane, I work in a charter school and we too have moved from the basal readers into a more literature based reading instruction. In order to assess, we perform guided reading groups and determine whether a child is on, above, or below level through the use of running records. We also administer the DRA. We do not use number grades on the report card, instead we use letters: N, U, S, VG, and E. So if a child is reading on level he would receive a S and so forth. Perhaps you and your team can create a rubric to correlate the numbers on ure report card to below, on, and above level readers.

Re: [MOSAIC] Dyslexia
No wonder children have problems with letter reversals until grade three. >From the moment they were born they were taught object permanence. An apple is an apple whether facing left or right, up or down. A lamp is a lamp whether on a table or on the floor. Oh, but wait, now we're telling them a "b" is a "b" if facing right, but its a "d" if facing left! Aye, the english language :) ___ 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] readers workshop
Cami, This will be the second week launching readers workshop in my 2nd grade classroom. In addition to modeling procedures to the students, it is equally as important to establish that reading is important and meaningful. Here are some ideas of mini lessons you can do . . . -"Reading is. . . " Have students tell you what they think reading is or what readers do. You'll be surprised how much their answers change from the beginning of the year to the end. -"My favorite place to read. . . " -What is readers workshop? Chart the difference between readers workshop independent reading vs. D.E.A.R -Have students share their favorite picture book. Discuss what makes their writing effective (this will lend itself nicely to writers workshop as well) -Book Nooks (areas in the room we can read) -Workshop rules and appropiate voices -Caring for books and the classroom library. Discuss its organization and practice taking and returning books. -How to choose the "just right" book vs. "easy" and "challenging"I would bring in a magazine, novel, and textbook to demonstrate that there is a difference for adults as well. -What does a good listener look/sound like -What does partner reading look/sound like I hope that helps!

[MOSAIC] Help!
Hi fellow reading enthusiasts, I was recently awarded an amazing opportunity by my coordinator: the chance to present the comprehension strategies to our k-5 team in hopes of adopting them across the grade levels. I am extremely excited about this as I have been pushing for a reading coach position at my school (there currently isn't even the position in my school, so i'd be the first) and I feel like this presentation will be kind of like an interview. Currently, I am the ONLY one who is fluent, even familiar in the comprehension strategies as well as all the other amazing books out there including Miller, McGregor, Zimmerman, etc. so it is extremely important that I am very well prepared. I have to plan a year long staff development plan, with an introductory presentation of the readers workshop model, and a different strategy each month. I'd like to provide the teachers with sample lessons, anchor charts, and videos of my own teaching. I remember reading on this email group of someone having to do the same thing and I'd LOVE if you or anyone else, could share some information with me (ideas, plans, resources, etc). Thank you for your help!

[MOSAIC] Help. .(again)
Thank you to you all for your great advice concerning my upcoming presentation. However, I have yet another question. I decided that in order to pump up some of our team members, I would like to facilitate a reading group prior to the presentation so that when the time comes they will have some more background and feel a bit more at ease and all the "new" information won't be so foreign. I'm torn between starting with "Mosaic of Thought" or "Reading with Meaning." What do you all think? Also, as far as starting the group. . . What do you think would be the best possible way of advertising? We all know that not every teacher is open to new ideas and I really want to present it in the best light possible. Please share any of your thoughts or personal experiences.

Re: [MOSAIC] mastery of stragies
Gina, I found the same true in my classroom. After insisting they code T-S, T-T, T-W, it dawned on me that my kids were focusing more on whether they were "coding" correctly than on their actual connections. Instead, I introduced it to them and allowed them to come up with their own unique ways to code whether it be a picture or writing. Some of my kids starting drawing a lightbulb when they were reminded of something. Some would draw a book when it reminded them of another story we have read in class. I found that in my own reading, I often just mark text in the margins. Who cares whether they code correctly, as long as they're finding meaning in what they read. If they didn't have a connection, that was fine. After conversing with their peers, they often find shared experiences.

Re: [MOSAIC] mastery of strategies
Rose, I, too, am a second grade teacher and to be honest; the best way I have found to assess my children in the use of their strategies is through simple conversation through readers conferences and taking anecdotal notes. There is a strategy rubric available that you can use to assess formally from your anecdotal records: http://www.readinglady.com/mosaic/tools/Strategy%20Rubrics.pdf Christina ___ 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] Inference
I, too, struggled with the difference between an inference and prediction. However, the more I researched, I see the difference. Especially in listening to children. Inference is when a reader takes ones own experience and background knowledge to "infer" meaning. A prediction is "guessing" based on a pattern or sequence. For example, if I see a person driving a minivan, I would "infer" that they have a large family because in my experience most of the people I know with large families drive large cars. If it has been raining everyday at 3pm, I would "predict" that it will rain today at 3pm. Does that make sense?

[MOSAIC] Basal in Readers Workshop?
Hi everyone, My administrator decided in the beginning of the year that it was okay for us to forgo our purchased basal series (Open Court) and only use literature in our readers workshop (woo hoo!!). Flash forward to now and we are told that we must use them, whether it be for phonics, literature, etc. . . basically just use them, all this money was spent on them ("what we're supposed to do" is changed at least twice a year, so you can imagine our frustration!). Can anyone give me any advice or pointers or how they use their basal in their classroom in conjunction with quality literature? We structure our readers workshop based on comprehension strategies (i.e September we work on making connections etc.)If anyone out there, uses Open Court and a readers workshop setting, that would even be more helpful.
