Two great favorites as to series that I read to kids and they LOVE --
the Warton and Morton books by Russell Erickson

Our school librarian set up book boxes based on Adrian Gear's strands;
you'd check them out for a few weeks, that kind of thing. Great idea.
Definitely 'inferring' was the one I found more challenging with primaries.

I love this idea also -- I have used 'two colors of tiny post-its' to have
kids identify a part of their writing (poetry) they loved and a part they
thought needed a bit of work (then work in pairs etc.). (Modelling first,
etc.) Lots of possibilities here! Thanks

As to editing (and sharing), many teachers use peer editing but you will
need to structure the task (as to what to look for, piece by piece) and I'd
save it for much later in the year.
Good thoughts, thanks.

through for those of us on digest. Thanks again.
pps Nearly all my classroom years have been in low SES
useful.
Only one cautionary note -- just occasionally you'd have a student whose home
background was limited and he may need 'the alternate', being that maybe he's
never been skating or what have you -- something a little too unfamiliar to be
a fair assessment.
Hope that helps,
