Re: [MOSAIC] (Mosaic) New Book

2008-02-19 Thread Diane Strickland
The description at Heinemann says it's for K-8. The site also has the first
chapter posted for preview. (I am impatiently waiting for the copy I
ordered.)

I thought these words from Debbie Miller (in the Forward) were interesting.

_To Understand_ is not a sequel to Mosaic of Thought. _To Understand_
challenges us to think beyond comprehension strategies; it invites us to ask
what these strategies are for. Why should readers use them? What's our
ultimate goal?

http://books.heinemann.com/products/E00323.aspx

I, too, am hoping there will be a book chat for this title. I like Keene's
writing style. What she writes about is so thought-provoking, yet the way
she writes makes her words so accessible.

[MOSAIC] Ellin's new book

2008-01-26 Thread CNJPALMER
 
 
Hey all you Mosaic of Thought fans out there! I  want to announce to the 
MOSAIC listserv (and a few other interested colleagues)  that Ellin Keene's 
latest 
book is due out this spring and can be preordered on  Amazon.  It sounds 
fantastic and I simply cannot wait! Ellin got us  thinking about reading in a 
whole new way and I think this one sounds like it  will be equally 
thought-provoking.  

Here is the link:

 

To Understand: New Horizons in Reading  Comprehension (Paperback)
by Ellin Oliver Keene
_www.amazon.com/Understand-New-Horizons-Reading-Comprehension/dp/0325003238/r
ef=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1201326987sr=8-4_ 
(http://www.amazon.com/Understand-New-Horizons-Reading-Comprehension/dp/0325003238/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8s=boo
ksqid=1201326987sr=8-4) 
 
From Amazon.com:
 
“This is a work of incredible scope: adventurous,  ingratiating, 
challenging,genuinely groundbreaking, and gorgeously written. It  will knock 
the socks 
off this profession.”
- Harvey Daniels
Author of Subjects Matter and  Content-Area Writing
 
The renaissance in comprehension instruction  launched by Mosaic of Thought 
has led to changes in hundreds of thousands of  classrooms, where teachers now 
model reading strategies, and students probe  meaning more deeply. But no book 
in the field has satisfactorily answered the  question: What does it really 
mean to comprehend? In To Understand, Ellin Oliver  Keene not only explores 
this important question, but reveals what teachers can  do to encourage all 
students to engage in deep understanding far more  consistently than before. 
 
In discovering what's really behind comprehension,  To Understand goes well 
beyond comprehension strategy instruction. Keene  identifies specific 
Dimensions and Outcomes of Understanding - characteristics  identified in 
readers with 
a highly developed ability to make sense of text - to  help you rethink what 
comprehension is. She demonstrates how to leverage the  Dimensions and Outcomes 
into relevant, provocative, memorable  instruction.
 
To Understand proposes a model that incorporates  all aspects of literacy 
instruction - word learning and comprehension - and  describes how teachers can 
focus on what matters most in literacy content. Keene  shows that when teachers 
target the most essential content, they have the time  to help every student 
engage more deeply with texts and discover a passion for  reading and 
learning. The model is founded on four simple, but powerful  concepts:
*   Focus on what's important by teaching vital  concepts in depth rather 
than skimming over nonessential skills  
*   Use research-based teaching and learning  strategies, including 
proven-effective comprehension and language-based  strategies, then taking them 
further by showing students how the strategies  lead them to a fuller 
understand 
of a text  
*   Teach the essential concepts over a long period of  time so that 
children have an opportunity to learn not only a comprehension  strategy, but 
to 
explore where that strategy leads in their understanding   
*   Give students numerous opportunities to apply the  concepts in a 
variety of texts and contexts. 
With To Understand in hand, you'll find new ways to  draw out the innate 
intellectual interest in every student and spark dramatic  improvements in 
literacy learning and comprehension, even among students who  struggle. You'll 
see 
that by rethinking what it means to understand - by  teaching children the 
Outcomes and Dimensions of understanding - you can help  students exceed 
expectations while broadening your vision of their abilities,  their capacity, 
and their 
energy for learning.
 
There's still more - much more - to learn about  comprehension. Read To 
Understand, join Ellin Oliver Keene, and discover that  what's at the very core 
of 
comprehension can not only reinvigorate your teaching  but take your students 
to new, uncharted levels of learning.
 
 
Enjoy!

[MOSAIC] a new book!!

2007-05-22 Thread ginger/rob
Some of you may remember a while back when author Elaine Garan wrote us 
asking if we would contribute pressing questions for her upcoming book. 
Well, the book is about to be released and Elaine did use many of our 
questions!!!

Title:
Smart Answers to Tough Questions: What Do You Say When You're Asked About 
Fluency, Phonics, Grammar, Vocabulary, SSR, Tests, Support for ELLs, and 
More by Elaine Garan
(published by Scholastic)

Here is the info from the back cover-
An indispensable guide for classroom teachers, literacy coaches, 
administrators, and teacher educators, Smart Answers to Tough Questions 
addresses today's most pressing issues in language, literacy, teaching, and 
learning- in conversational language and a reader-friendly format.  The 
questions are real ones, some posed by educators themselves, and other 
frequently addressed to educators by parents, administrators, and the media. 
Each tough question is followed by a research-based Bottom-Line Answer 
that is drawn from government reports, stripped of jargon, and translated 
into clear, accessible prose.

This essential desktop reference is a rich resource for grant writing, 
school newsletters, back-to-school nights, and presentations to the school 
board.  Each section in the book can also serve as the outline for workshops 
and reading methods courses.  In addition, Garan includes 100+ invaluable 
research quotes that are downloadable from the Web.

Here is an easy link to the Scholastic page:
http://tinyurl.com/37x36f

Here is an easy link to the Amazon page:
http://tinyurl.com/2q2hro

I was fortunate to read the draft for review and all I can say is BUY THIS 
BOOK Here is what I wrote for my review:
Elaine Garan has synthesized the research and in basic English provided us 
with meaningful responses to the scrutinizing questions teachers are often 
asked.  We need this book to defend our teaching!

Our own Joy W. wrote in her review:
Not only does this book provide answers to tough questions, but it also 
draws a detailed picture of what research-based practices look like in the 
classroom.  I see this as a guidebook for best practices in literacy 
education, as well as a resource for talking with parents about these 
issues.

Our own Heather Wall wrote in her review:
I found the information to be invaluable not only for addressing parent 
questions, but also for informing fellow teachers of research-proven best 
practices.  This is an excellent resource- every literacy coach and staff 
developer should own this book!
