Re: [MOSAIC] new read alouds and uses/strategies
I discovered the Marley and Me picture books last year. I think there are 4 of them now. I had a 2nd grade special ed class for enrichment. They loved the first book of the series which we did as an interactive read aloud. They were so full of life, made tons of connections and predictions and really enjoyed the whole experience. You can get them from Amazon and Scholastic(I think).

Shannon I love the Mo Willems series of Pigeon books: Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Pigeon finds a Hot Dog. They are very amusing and good for inferring and predicting. I have used them K-5. Fifth graders love them as much as the K kids. Jennifer In a message dated 8/22/2009 1:46:18 P.M.

I discovered this series I will use this year to build build classroom community and positive behaviors. The books are simple and short: PreS-Gr. 1. From the Learning to Get Along series, these colorful books encourage children to learn social skills. In Listen an African American boy explains what listening means: keeping quiet, watching the person who talks, thinking about what is being said, and asking questions when he doesn't understand. He also talks about using those skills in the classroom and at home. Similarly, in Share a red-haired girl learns techniques for sharing, then shows how she shares and takes turns when playing at home with her sister and friends. Each book ends with the child feeling good about using his or her new skills. The bright line-and-wash illustrations feature multiracial groups of children engaged in familiar activities. The writing is purposeful, but it is also practical in approach and sensitive to the problems and feelings of young children. A good choice for teachers seeking books that reinforce familiar classroom messages. I am thinking that after each read-aloud, the class will write in their journals and we can interactively create a list of classroom standards. I teach second and since the books are such easy reads, I also could pair up the students to read, respond, and share a book. I would like to display the books alongside the list throughout the year so students can access them easily. I think the books will give us talking points for discussion when discipline issues come up throughout the year. Any other ideas? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1575421232/ref=ox_ya_os_product ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

I love the Pigeon books, as well. I use them for persuasive text. My school added that as a new unit last year, and I had much success with that pigeon! The books are great to start a pro con conversation. Kids as young as grade 2 have a ball adding their comments and opinions! I am so glad we are doing the persuasive text unit early in the year, instead of June, so we can really get into it! In a message dated 8/22/2009 1:56:25 P.M.
