you used but I will be on amazon buying it. Thank you for sharing ypur
students beautiful connection and explanations of synthesis. It

Sandi that is awesome to hear. I have only taught in Title One School and this
was my first year out of the classroom as a Reading Specialist. I taught mostly

The end of the year is at time for celebration Sandra and I want to cut and
paste your letter and send it to every teacher in my school. Your letter is
proof in the pudding as we would say that you have taught your students to
really think about the process of reading and have given them a
Thank you so much for sharing your successes with these first graders.
And...please keep sharing as you go about this wonderous process next year with
a new group of students. I too work in a Title 1 school and some days - well I
can feel your pain with the behavioral issues. It would be so
Congratulations, to you and your students. Sometimes all kids need is some
teaching, some encouragement and the will to keep going. Because someone
believes in them. Clearly you've provided all that. Labels are overrated.

Thank you Bev. Building on what Sandra did, you have articulated exactly
what is wrong with so-called RTI. It's a joke. And you and Sandra have
