I would think the common assessments would be about comprehending and not about
the strategies. In other words, students should show they are comprehending
what they read not that they use a particular strategy to do so. Does this
make sense?

In NYS, I believe, eventual RTI (response to intervention) involvement is
not optional. It is part of the state push to lower special education

I'm curious to know what will you use as your universal screening tool if
you don't use DIBELS? Will it be AIMSWeb? We're using DIBELS and it's just
not enough. Our kids need screened for reading comprehension and math and
the DIBELS just doesn't do that.

system this year. I'm an AIS reading teacher. Because of the tiering we have
some groups limited to 3 kids (tier 3) and 6 kids (tier 2). We have not been
told to use any specific program yet, but I could see it comin

I, too, am a second grade teacher and to be honest; the best way I have

Gina,
I found the same true in my classroom. After insisting they code T-S, T-T,
T-W, it dawned on me that my kids were focusing more on whether they were
"coding" correctly than on their actual connections. Instead, I introduced
it to them and allowed them to come up with their own unique ways to

At my school, our Reading With Meaning book club was open to all grade levels,
and as a fifth grade teacher, I'm so glad I joined it. RWM clearly explains
how to teach the strategies described in Mosaic. I found it easy to envision
how Miller's lessons would look in a fifth grade classroom.

Jennifer I have a word list that has correlated dra levels on it. When first
graders come to their very first DRA test ever we usually pick about five
benchmark books. Then we work up or down from the initial reading if that text
is not the just right text. But this is time consuming so i
