Hi Bonita, Debbie and others,
I have a different perspective on what you describe below. I'm curious as to
what others
think about this. I have an expectation in my class that during independent
reading
time the children may read with one other person but no more. I tell my kids
that the
Joy,
Please don't take this the wrong way but I just had to comment on what you say
below. I think
that teachers are way too nice. We try so hard not to hurt people's feelings
or step on
people's toes and then we get barrelled over. I truly believe that is part of
what's happening
with NCLB,

Well, I guess what we are talking about is the way we would REDIRECT the
students, knowing that they are showing me they have a need to do something
social and figure out what other activity could satisfy that need. See, I think
of it as the kids are showing me that they need to do this
I think the suggestions about training will help. One of our staff development
days is going to be about reading strategies, so maybe that will help.

implications. I don't think she is being insubordinate at all,

Thanks for the suggestion. You're right, it might be that she doesn't know any
other way. Maybe this, plus the other suggestions about modeling other

Question for the passionate round robin folks. What about when students are in
literacy groups and they CHOOSE to read together round-robin style? Thoughts
on this?

I just think it is a variation on buddy reading and that it is a very
different matter when it is child initiated.

I think I agree, and one of the reasons is that sometimes when adult groups
get together, they choose to do the very same thing. Sometimes it's part
where the language is lifting, sometimes it's to clarify, sometimes it's to
review for the group with some punch, sometimes they just like to

I am sure you have considered this, but how about setting up a schedule for
partner reading. That way, when your TA is filling in, the kids will
already be assigned a partner and will know what is expected of them during
their reading time. The TA will be able to observe, assist, and

What I tell my students and colleagues is this...when you round robin read,
many kids don't read all the text or even follow along. They look for what
they will be reading and prepare for that. I ask kids to read the whole text
silently because they read the whole text, not just the
I usually tell my student teachers and colleagues that usually if they were
to use Round Robin Reading that if one child is reading most times there are
21 who aren't. It's not an efficient strategy. I remember counting paragraphs

I have not done round robin reading for about a million years and I
can't imagine doing it as a general practice. However, I am going to go
off on a different tangent here than everyone else did.
My first question is, How often does your TA need to take your place?
Once a week? Once a
Have you tried simply asking her why she does round robin reading? Sometimes
people, at least I think, do things because that is what they've seen others
do, not because they have a good reason. This may open up a line of
communication for you to enter a conversation with her. Good luck!

Hi,
I think listening to children read is crucial at all elementary levels. If
more teachers listened to their children, checked fluency and saw if they
were using fix-up skills, then we would have less students who need
remediation.
I always thought that teachers should be listening to
I'd like to add that you should also schedule times for an individual reading
conference, where you do running records.
