Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
Two tests which we use to give lexiles are Read About by Scholastic and the NWEA MAP tests. Both of which districts must purchase to use. But, yes, DRA scores can be converted to a lexile score, which isn't an exact score but a range of where a student reads with succes, I believe at 75% accuracy.Cheryl 'Teaching is a work of heart.'

Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
Pat, Our school administers the NWEA tests, at the beginning of the year and at the end. In addition to all the data we get from those tests, the lexile score is included. I have my classroom library leveled that way. Don't know if this helps but just another piece of the puzzle ; -) Cathleen Third Grade P.S. Thanks for all you do . . I've read your posts for a few years. You are a big help!

Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
Make sure they have access to reading materials that interests them, and ask them every now and then... "What are you reading about?" and "Can you tell me more?" and "It says here Why do you think this character is doing this?" etc. You might need to refine your questions in ways that support students' giving answers, but the comprehension will come more easily if they have chances to talk about their books. Not write. Not answer questions. Not do a book report. Just talk. OR maybe draw a picture of something that happened in the story, THEN talk!

Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
Hi There, I have found that what works better than anything, costs nothing, and requires no prep, is to have them talk about their reading when they are finished, and to listen to others talk about their books as well. If you have a few of these students, you might make little "sharing" groups of maybe four students each, who can share and ask each other questions about their books. If it helps, they could have some generic question prompts to use. I used to do this. I had very generic questions that I had on card stock and laminated, kept in a basket right on the bookshelf.

Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
Tennie, you are saying they decode at a high level but comprehend little or nothing? Can you assess their approximate comprehension level? I would then get books at that level or slightly higher and have them read with you and discuss the story language, themes, make predictions and use all of the Strategies That Work comprehension work (asking questions, visualizing, making connections, etc.) It sounds like they think reading is word calling and don't have the connection to meaning.

Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
I agree with you Jennifer, It's about the strategies that we know, modeling, gradual release by having kids apply strategies and thinking through turn and talk and sharing out. It's about the gift of time - this doesn't happen immediately for every child. Lots of time for children to gradually make this their own!!! I think even the best of us sometimes think it's always going to happen quickly. I always always remember annie sullivan telling Helen keller's mother - when she asked how long it would take for the finger spelling to reach Helen - that it might take a million (I think that's what she said ) times but it did happen. Not that we need a million times but I found that I always had to to give it the time that was needed!!!

Re: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?
Children of all ages love to record themselves and hear their voices. Recently in my guided reading groups i have been modeling oral reading and pausing to think aloud the active reading strategies that come to mind; connections, asking myself questions etc. If you have access to ipods or recorders i recommend this acttivity. I assign a passage or a few pages for them to read and record. When we play it back and listen, i make them track with their finger so they can analyze miscues and hear how they sound. It helps build fluency and comprehension Sent from my HTC Status™ on AT&T - Reply message - From: "Palmer, Jennifer" To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" Subject: [MOSAIC] mentor texts for readers workshop?

They are "word callers" and are not reading on or above grade level if they can't comprehend! Drop the reading level until they can comprehend.
