Hi
I was on a site about a week ago that had nursery rhymes and poems for
emergent readers. These had color illustrations and the font was age
appropriate.
I am hoping to create poetry notebooks.
If anyone knows the name of the site please let me know.
Thanks, Jeanne
Just a clarification...when I mentioned partner reading, I was talking about
two kids, that I partner up, sitting together and reading a section.
Partner reading , in my room, is completely orchestrated by me. I pick the
partners. I use DRA levels and match kids up. If I had 24 kids in my

Judging the teacher, school, program alone if they do not, isn't reasonable.

You have given me some FABULOUS ideas for test preparation. I love the idea
of integrating the questions into the normal read-aloud time. So you have

Alright, friends, here goes: I need help with my entire reading curriculum.
I have asked for help with various details, but when it comes down to it, I
really need an outline to plug those details into. I just finished my first
year of teaching, and I can't bear to let down another group of kids
Maggie,
If you are looking for a way to organize all you do, I would suggest looking
at the Four Blocks Framework.
You divide your literacy time into four sections that you teach everyday:
Guided Reading
Working with Words
Self-Selected Reading
Writing Workshop
Here are 2
I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up yet because I am behind in
reading posts, but does your state have a state specifications that
are released? I read an interesting article in The American Educator
that points out that most states benchmarks are not correlated to the
test

Our district just did an amazing thing. I have to give kudos to our curriculum
specialists (some newly placed in their positions I think) because they had
no problems putting this all together. They had representatives from every
grade level come during the summer and create curriculum maps

The first edition has a blue cover and the new edition has purple on the cover.
Having read both editions it seems they are quite similar except in the new
edition Allington talks about NCLB and in general he seems to elaborate
more...which may be due to newer research being available.
I'm reading the first edition.
Well, I've asked a couple of the questions I had already. One was about
round-robin reading, the other addresses interventions vs. good teaching. If
you go to the archives, you can read them there. Everyone that responded helped

you follow some of the philosophies of MOT and Lucy Calkins (writing and
reading) and others that we've talked about. I know that seems too broad, but
for reading you could use trade books to teach the strategies.
I think there is an excellent match between the CA standards and the state
tests. In the released versions of the tests, as a matter of fact, they
correlate ever question to the standard.
