Hi all,
I'm enjoying reading all of the viewpoints on the Common Core Standards.
Here is a question that I've always had in regard to the standards. Either
my district, my state or my country is choosing the standards that our
students will be learning that year. So no matter what, someone is ma
I echo what dhouse said. Our district is using these 2 books (Fountas and

Hello all,
I've always struggled with the "teaching" of reading. And exactly what that
