I have a question...During guided reading, after kids have fininshed their
work (lit log, Dol,cursive) they get to free read. I have them practicing
poems, reading magazines, reading anything they want in the classroom. I
know have walkmen for every student and they all choose to do this. I
Ok, no one boo me, butI think that kids having time with just right
text, reading it, not listening is the single most important thing for them.

I need to clarify...my students read 30 minutes in just right books during

I agree with you
Thank you for all the suggestions for good books for predictions. I have been
reading them and loving them. I love the mood of "The Widow's Broom", but I
