Hi all! I know that there are a lot of great non-fiction magazines out there
for students, but does anyone know of any that have articles with issues for

I echo Renee's sentiments. Just in my own family for example - I have three
girls. The first one I figured out early on that we only needed to quickly
review spelling words once just to ease my mind. The other two - we studied
each week, got 100 and couldn't spell for beans. I've always

I don't disagree about the comments against the fluency interventions that I
asked about. But, the bottom line is I don't control what goes on in the
classrooms. We have used Quick Reads as an intervention for the 5 years I've

comparing both programs. Our 3-5 building has a lot of money tied up in one

How is Walk to Read different from the tracking we have all worked so hard to

Morning, I have a student who has a high average IQ. He tests at Z in the
a-z assessment, but his fluency (DIBELS) is at 77. In January the fourth
grade goal was 105, so he is significantly below that expectation. He has
received fluency support with Quick Reads (similar to REad Naturally

Ages ago there was a lot of research backing up listening to reading while
reading along. The thought being that if you saw (for example) the word
lasagna while reading the word, then if you saw the word on your own you
would/might recognize it. Many words are repeated in a book if it's

Morning all! While we're on the subject of poetry, has anybody compiled poems
to teach the comprehension strategies? As a reading specialist who goes into

I guess whether their strategies are working are the case in point. One

Does anyone have the Tier II word lists? I had found them on-line awhile back,
but can't remember where and can't seem to find them again.

Our district was slowing inching towards implementing a Reading Workshop model

Actually because the Units of Study are pretty new so I wasn't expecting
