remember the importance of and rationale for "tracks of our thinking" I ran
into this issue with primary teachers at my old school. Kids were having
strong discussions but I knew they were going to need to write on the state
test (it was actually a good performance test int hose days). But i
As a first grade teacher I am finding kids also having difficulty making
connections...which traditionally has been easier to comprehend then some of
the
other strategies. I must preface by saying I have a lot of kids with sensory
issues (AD/HD, sensory integration, and some other pdd stuff)
We're actually doing book studies with groups of parents on the 7 Keys to
Comprehension. (I hope if Susan and Chryse have experienced a surge in book
sales they know we at Jennings are contributing to that. :-)

I agree with you, Joy. Interestingly enough, our students didn't do too well
this year on the Connecticut Mastery Test in the area of making connections.
The funny part of that is that we teach our students explicitly how to make
connections verbally. I've done demonstrations lessons in our c
I second the suggestions for the work of Wilhelm and Smith wholeheartedly!
We are sooo lucky to have Michael Smith coming to work with our district
this coming summer. I would also look at some of the things Wilhelm has
been authoring through Scholastic, not the least of which is his WONDERFUL

Sally - I wonder if you could share with us the program that you mentioned
which is a modified version of Reading Recovery? I would love to have that
training, but out district doesn't have the funds as present. Is the program

Rex,
Your email reminds me so much of our Choice Words discussion, where Peter
Johnston speaks of building agency in children. Getting children to develop
that "self-extending system" is essential for effective teaching and learning.
I am leading a book discussion at my school using Choice Words
Funny, my students who have been diagnosed with learning differences do fine
with inferring, it's finding facts and details within the text that they
struggle with. I think all the years of not "getting" it have made them very
good at taking sketchy information and stitching it together to make
Rex, I so agree with all that you've described here - so wisely and eloquently.
thank you. I plan to share it with my grad students in reading! sally

I am forwarding this for Colleen who cannot get her emails to post on the

Hi Michelle,
I am a K-5 Literacy Coach and I have been on a soapbox about the fact
that Guided Reading "as prescribed" IS NOT an intervention strategy in itself.
We just got a new Title I coordinator two years ago and she immediately wanted
her T-I teachers to start doing Guided Reading.
Hi Michelle:
I'm a principal in an affluent district just over the state line from you. I
struggle with same kinds of issues you're identifying, and I've come to the
conclusion that the best intervention for struggling readers in the
intermediate grades is more about affecting their learning i
I've been reading and learning from this site for about a year now and have
loved all the information and comments I've gleaned. I'm a reading specialist
