A great reading comprehension strategies website for teachers, parents and

Does anyone know any songs that I could teach and use as I go through the
writing process? I have used songs for the 6 traits of writing and for reading
strategies and I find they work so well with my Grade Ones. Any suggestions
would be great?

The difference between teaching the way we (or most of us)do and the way a
traditional teacher does is huge and goes far beyond reading. My son had a
traditional teacher this past year (who happened to be my teaching partner),
and I watched his love for learning dissipate as the year progressed. I
Here's a link I just found. I've had the same questions as you, so I'm busy

with standardized testing. I'm all for doing whatever works, as long as I

Read Right must be the new "big thing." As of three weeks ago, 5 of my kids

I agree. The F&P benchmarking system is very accurate. We did learn,
however, that it is best to wait on initial assessment until the first few
weeks of school are past. Many of our kiddos had not read over the summer
and just weren't "warmed up" enough to have a comprehension conversation.
I only use chapter books with groups of kids who have shown me that they are
responsible and self-motivated readers. I treat it like a book club, where
they do the reading on their own, and when we meet as a group, I coach them
through a discussion. I give them a reflection response prompt or
I have been feeling the same way about the Word Work choices in my room.
They all want to do the same thing...write their words on small white
