Beth, how does the child perform when asked to make words with the tiles
during that part of the Fundations lesson? Could it be that she is
having trouble relating the visual of the letter to the sound? When she
is reading a text, does she rely more on picture clues and making the
text makes
offered in the retell aligns with the Common Core
Standards and are great thinking questions that allow the teacher to
probe the student's thinking.
Good luck on your endeavor!

Our grading system is based on proficiency so we use information from formative
assessments to give grades; however, there is a summative at the end of the

Good afternoon! Has anyone ever heard of a program called Making Great

You may want to look at the RTI book put out by Gretchen Owocki. It is from
Heinemann. Also, have you considered the Fountas and Pinnell benchmark kits?

Sue, I believe that with all students you first start a study about
metacognition then move into the other strategies. Debbie Miller
suggests in her book teaching each strategy for about 6 weeks. For
your k's, there are a couple of great books for them: Starting with
Comprehension and

what did it look like? Are there any resources out there for us to use?
Thanks so much:-)

Our system has just chosen to assess using DIBELS. For those of you who
use it, which students are you assessing? Do you use a different method
to assess comprehension, if so, what? Thanks for your input!!

fexible group instruction. Our students
loved it and we found that their skills increased.
I can see how this would not work for all groups. Like others have said, you
would need to look at your children, your teachers and your plan- Good Luck:)

I taught first for 3 years and then moved to second. Here's my take on it.
First grade is teaching children the logistics of reading. They are like
sponges but need lots of nurturing and support. In second grade, they are more
independent. They need reinforcement in comprehension since

I have taught younger children as well. What do you expect from a 2nd grader's

In primary grades, it should be about 50-50. I am teaching 2nd grade for the

I heard a great report on NPR a few years ago. It told about a school in
Chicago that each year got more people on board until the whole school was in
agreement. I think this allows teachers not to feel pressured to starting
something new- which can be so intimidating. Therefore,
