Wow, 3000 books! I am impressed! And I thought I had a lot of books! If
you have books you want to get rid of, have you heard of BookMooch.com? This
can also be a source for more books. This past year I started using Daily 5

Have you read Carol Lyon's book, Teaching Struggling Readers? It is a very
powerful book. I have taught 6th graders who couldn't read, and Lyon's book
probably addresses some issues you are having. Also, I don't think you can
go wrong with teaching these kids basic reading strategies like in
I think you did exactly what Carol Lyons talks about in her book, Teaching
Struggling Readers---you connected with him emotionally. She makes a very
valid point about the important connection between emotion and cognition.

Love this idea! So you developed the rubric with the class?

We gave the DRA2 for the first time in September. (We had been using the
"old" DRA.) Wow, my first graders did not make the high reading levels some
of my 1st graders did before, and I know it's because of the retelling

I agree. And although I think that Fountas & Pinnell, Good First Teaching

strategies, a better resource would be the Fountas & Pinnell book for grades
3-6 when working with upper level readers who need decoding work. An

Here's what it says in the book, The Power of Retelling:

also our teachers did not know how to teach them this holistic way of

Under Useful Resources, does anyone know who the publisher of The Pocket
Book is? This is a book of interdisciplinary activities by David Cooper and
Lynn Taylor, published in 1989. I gave my copy away several years ago and
now I can't find a source for this book.

We use the DRA2 also and when we used it for the 1st time last Sept. our
kids' scores were lower than the scores of our first graders on the "old"
DRA the year before. I think it was because the retelling rubric on the
DRA2 is more demanding and also because the kids were supposed to make a

Love your idea about teaching a retelling unit before we give the DRA2 in
Sept.! I am going to suggest this to my team. Unfortunately, our district
gives us a window of time in which to administer the DRA2, and it will be in
Sept.---no changing that. But we can start from the first week working
I hadn't heard back from anyone, so thanks!!! My team still tries to fit in
some fun in 1st grade. Pretty sad, huh? 10 years ago, even 5 years ago,
first grade wasn't like junior college.

You can also use the basals for shared reading. Some of them have good
stories that are useful for modeling strategic comprehension activity. Also
some may have some decent nonfiction to use for shared reading.

And if anyone knows of any nonfiction books for levels about G-J, ones that
actually have features of nonfiction (not just photographs/text), I would
love to know about those.
