doesn't hurt to introduce one-self to a book by scanning the pictures before
one reads- but I too have a problem with "reading the pictures" b
As a coach and former mentor, I think you are right to be concerned. In terms
of picture reading for kiddos of this age, I can see a place for it with
informational text that is complex yet offers lots of visual support and for
children for whom it makes sense in terms of reading level. Althoug
I don't think that reading the pictures should be reserved for k and first

Hello,
I have read the "Read Right" book and have worked in the program for 3
years and I would not recommend this for readers. I would recommend Four

When students are beginning to read wouldn't you do both...sometimes read to
them first, sometimes let them figure out on their own. It is important to

I am currently in the my fifth year of teaching and I have seen the same

This year I have had 3rd graders coming into my classroom, who are trying
to read so fast that they don't even realize when the decoding breaks do
