That's what I found about HM when I was in elem. HM has you teach one
different strategy per week. Another thing about the text is that even
though they don't chop up a story, the illustrations don't match the text
often. They move the illustrations around to fit in the anthology. If you

Really, it can be done. I teach Open Court and in our training we were told
that the books were not meant to be "mastered" by the student

as soon as I see the manuals tomorrow my blood pressure will go right back up!
Help!

I can recommend a really good vocabulary book: Accelerated Vocabulary:
Closing the Achievement Gap (something like that)-- by Nancy Akhavan.
it has ways to actually get kids involved in the tasks and actually has
an envelope at the back of the book that has transparencies of the

Elaine,
I find these comments very interesting. I came to similar conclusions when I
taught second grade, and immersed all the strategy instruction into read/think
alouds. The kids who seemed to "get it" the most and the quickest were ones who
did the most independent reading, both in school,
Reflecting on this past year, I wonder if I went deep enough with my students
regarding reading strategies. I would love to discuss how to take this deeper
for third, fourth, and fifth grade students.
My seconds from last year did wonderfully, we saw the largest gains in our
school with t
I'd just like to add two thoughts here to the discussion. Absolutely,

opportunity to start fresh each year...what a blessing that is, when you think
about it.
As a reading specialist, I had taught the strategies b
As many of us are winding down to the finish line, I think it is important
to reflect on how our comprehension teaching went this year. Perhaps there
is something you feel you tackled this year that you would like to share
with us. What was challenging? What was affirming? How did your kids
