The end of the year is at time for celebration Sandra and I want to cut and
paste your letter and send it to every teacher in my school. Your letter is
proof in the pudding as we would say that you have taught your students to
really think about the process of reading and have given them a

Thank you so much for sharing your successes with these first graders.
And...please keep sharing as you go about this wonderous process next year with
a new group of students. I too work in a Title 1 school and some days - well I
can feel your pain with the behavioral issues. It would be so
Congratulations, to you and your students. Sometimes all kids need is some
teaching, some encouragement and the will to keep going. Because someone
believes in them. Clearly you've provided all that. Labels are overrated.

Dear Sandi, National Board Certified Teacher :-)
Thanks for sending this little story. It just goes to show what can

to drum some facts into them. :-)

I don't worry too much about definitions, but here is my philosophy and
belief:
Reading comprehension strategies (using metacognition, schema, visualizing,
asking questions, determining importance, synthesis) have to be taught right
from the beginning and they go hand in hand with
Hi there!
I definitely agree with Renee. Absolutely! I would recommend that you read:
1. The Daily Five
by the Two Sisters and
The Daily Cafe book,
also by the Two Sisters
2. The Comprehension Toolkit by Harvey and Goudvis
3. Strategies that Work
by Harvey and Goudvis
4. Reading
Evelia,
I think teaching good reading strategies leads to good reading
skills. Having said that, I have to say I am in support of looking at
the reading process as a holistic process which can't effectively be
separated into discrete parts.

I also cannot believe you have 24 students on intervention (is that RTI)??!!!
I should be RTI'ing half of my class, but I could only handle 4, so I feel
really guilty now. How do you do it?

Thank you Bev. Building on what Sandra did, you have articulated exactly
what is wrong with so-called RTI. It's a joke. And you and Sandra have
articulated what we should be doing. I have HUGE concerns about RTI. It's

I have the same question as the original person sending this email - I am all
on board with teaching the comprehension strategies and have read almost all
the books suggested - but how is the best way to teach good reader strategies
