I'm a reading junkie, I must admit. I receive The Reading Teacher, The KAPPEN, Edutopia, Educational Leadership, The Journal of Staff Development, Library Sparks, and T.H.E. Journal. I read the articles that are relevant to my interests and professional situation. As a former school librarian I REALLY believe in a professional collection, so I donate (after discussing it with the librarian at my school) several of the magazines to the library. If I need to check the archives the magazines are handy, and also available to the staff. Just a thought.

Re: [MOSAIC] Chapter 1 (Book Whisperer)
I'm an elementary coach. A few years ago the district I teach in was underperforming and therefore had to adopt a Basel. Now that we no longer have that label we don't have to use it with fidelity. Three of the first grade teachers and I read The Daily Five and CAFE last summer and the teachers incorporated at least some of the strategies/procedures in their classes. They used the Core to introduce the skills and strategies. Since our anthology has placements tests, the first grade classes started at different points...not all classes started with the first story of the first theme. Which meant they completed the series before the end of school and use literature circles and more CAFE. Then the Director of Curriculum and Instruction asked me to read the copy of The Book Whisperer he was given. When I finished it I had to get my own copy. I have the third grade teachers reading my books this summer. We still have to deal with the Core, but I encourage teachers to use lit circles as much as possible.

Re: [MOSAIC] increasing reading rate
I saw Tim Rasinski present on Saturday. He said he DIBELed MLK's I Have a Dream speech...only 87 wpm - you know what that means. But, it is that pacing and voice that give it impact. Dr. Rasinski said students need short, predictable text that are read over and over: songs, poems, Reader's Theater, recitations (americanrhetoric.com), cheers, jump rope chants nursery rhymes, words of wisdom, etc. Check his website for more ideas and links. www.timrasinski.com Melody On Oct 28, 2007, at 5:53 PM, Renee wrote: Well I personally think fluency has pretty much nothing to do with speed.

Renee On Oct 28, 2007, at 4:58 PM, Beverlee Paul wrote: I really, truly have tried to stay out of this fluency discussion because it turned heated the last round, but . . . I really hate it when we equate fluency with speed, even when we say we know they're not one and the same. But our actions and the semantics/word choices we use reveal that many of us do see them as identical. Have any of you read Regie's new Teaching Essentials yet? (great read) One thread of that book is that we always need to be mindful of where we want our kids to end up, and to use that knowledge to guide our every teaching decision along the way. Do we want our children (eventual adults) to read fast Or do we want our children (adults) to read quickly enough to enhance/maintain comprehension, which will usually be in a silent reading situation? It makes a difference! We've addressed the issue many times on this list (within different contexts) of teaching for the goal, not for the means. Role sheets are used as a vehicle to get where we want kids to go--being a flexible contributor to group discussion. Cooperative learning is a vehicle for kids to learn how to fully function in group work. Strategy instruction is used so kids can comprehend text. We can't just stop in the middle as if that's where we want to go! We can't even say, IMO, that speed is a necessary, but not sufficient, part of fluency. Yes, there may, many times, be a correlation between speed and fluency. But certainly not always. Just because speed is a speedy, easy, simple thing to measure/document doesn't make it necessary nor even desirable. My kids, like Lori's, have been greatly influenced by cultural background and a different language foundation, so kids in my area with Native American roots almost always do speak slower. But even if you talk about a single race in a single locale, for heaven's sake, there's individual variations. Once again, we see that correlation does not mean causal. I'm not sure if you can demean a concept ?!:-) but I think we do marginalize the connotation of fluency by reducing it to something so single-faceted that it can be measured by a stopwatch! Not everything important can be measured, and we can't measure everything that's important. Bev original post - I too have students who are focusing on increasing speed. They are sixth graders whose strategy work is progressing well, and they love to read, but they're painfully aware that their rate is slower than most. ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/ mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
