No her book is aimed toward secondary language arts/ English teachers. But I also know that Harvey and Goudvis in strategies that work also recommend using short texts for teaching strategies.

Mike Lupica writes some great sports books. Some like Heat are a little harder - 6th grade (ish), but he also writes some that are part of The Comeback Series that I use with my 4th graders. They're really good! He is a sports writer for a New York paper. An old man once said, There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't.

Re: [MOSAIC] Mosaic Digest, Vol 60, Issue 15
I love Reading with the Troubled Reader by Margaret Phinney. I taught the 5/6 inclusion class at my school and had a number of students labeled RSP (resource specialist). This book helped me sort out struggling readers who needed reading instruction suited to their particular needs (she describes particular children so you can hone in ont he issue). Her overall strategies are for ALL students. She believes there are only a few students who are what she calls global learners who don't fit in the other groups. Ironically - given the current pushes in schools - she feels these learners don't actually benefit a lot from phonics but need a wider range of meaning making strategies. She is a special education teacher but also a whole language teacher. Her book really helped me meet the needs of all mys tudents. sally Hi, I have a wonderful student in my fourth grade class this year who has a medical diagnosis of dyslexia.

Re: [MOSAIC] FW: care and advice for sending to list
Keith - thank you again for this posting! The other thing that drives many of us crazy are those I agree type responses. They may be brief, but they are a waste of all of our precious time. Many thanks to you for undertaking this enormous task. Wishing you a good year, too! Martha -Original Message- From: Keith Mack km...@literacyworkshop.org To: mosaic mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Sat, Aug 20, 2011 3:32 pm Subject: [MOSAIC] FW: care and advice for sending to list I'd like to post a couple reminders as the list gears up for more action during the school year. ONLY SEND TO LIST Mosaic list will not accept messages that include any other recipients. This is done to avoid spurious messages from hacked email account. So do NOT send message that have additional people or groups in To or Cc fields. Messages with additional recipients are held by the server and will be rejected . Rejected messages will say something like: Please trim the recipient list... Please remember send list messages *only* to the Mosaic list. There cannot be another person included anywhere. DELAYS DUE TO THROTTLING In order to stay under the radar from ISP spam watchers, I have imposed a 10,000 messages per hour limit on this list (3-4 posts per hour). In really active times messages may take several hours to post. Please *do not ever resend messages* as this will only add to the wait time. USE PLAIN TEXT The list is set up to only allow plain text. Emails sent in HTML will be stripped of all formatting and posted as text only. Quite often member messages are rejected by our sever due to excessive HTML. If you want your voice to be heard use TEXT. Most email clients have a pull down menu that allows you to change between text and HTML format. TRIM MESSAGES A constant problem for our list is quoted material on messages. As a matter of professional courtesy, please trim your replies to include only essential information from previous posts. Usually this can be just a few words. This saves valuable server resources and also is of extreme help to our hundreds of member professionals getting the digest version. PROFESSIONAL ETIQUETTE FOR REPLYING TO LIST MESSAGES See: http://www.mail-archive.com/mosaic@literacyworkshop.org/msg01817.html LIST FOCUS The Mosaic List was founded with an emphasis on reading and literacy instruction (see: http://www.readinglady.com/mosaic). This is not something that we take lightly. From time to time you will see temporary bird walks into other educational areas. These are allowed as long as they are brief. Any time posts and threads delve into politics, religion, personal affronts, or other personal areas, they will be asked to cease or move to another forum. This list is *not* moderated unless there's a need. PRIVACY The Mosaic List archive is public. Things posted on the list can be accessed by the public including your school staff and your parents. So please keep this in mind. Once a message is posted it cannot be recalled. The Mosaic membership list is always confidential and is not shared to sold to anyone. I'd like to wish everyone a successful and fulfilling school year. If you need help with your membership or have questions, please direct them to me and not the entire list.

[MOSAIC] Read Alouds for Third Grade
While we're on the subject of Read Alouds - does anyone have some fresh new titles for third grade? My stand-bys have been Ruby Holler and The Take of Despereaux and Cricket in Times Square and There's An Owl in the Shower.. I'm ready for something new and different that has not been made into a movie.

Re: [MOSAIC] Read Alouds for Third Grade
Honus and Me--it actually was a movie but had a different title and was not like the book. It is the first in a series and my kids love it--historical fantasy fiction. Gooney Bird Greene is an easy read but good lead in for writing. Justin and the Best Biscuits is good--has some history also. - Original Message - From: Laurie Tandy ltandy1...@aol.com To: wr...@centurytel.net; mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2011 7:28 PM Subject: [MOSAIC] Read Alouds for Third Grade While we're on the subject of Read Alouds - does anyone have some fresh new titles for third grade?
