I have just learned that with the CCSS, there is an emphasis on reading
excerpts. Do others of you have that impression for the middle school?
I think there is something completely different about reading an
entire novel. I object to a class activity that encourages reading
just a chapter
No. I don't get that impression at all... Though they do want us to synthesize
across texts... Which might include a novel, a poem and a movie for example.

Hi Kathleen!

grade and cannot be viewed
I am not so certain. It was day four, a great group with only one new to

we quickly encouraged them to work in groups--which made an observable
difference in terms of stress levels. When we debriefed the strategy, just

Kathleen,
Dyslexia seems to be a term with as many definitions as people who use it.
In some school districts, the word is almost tabu. Letter reversals can be
developmental and are not always a predictor of reading problems, especially
depending on the age of the reader.
I recommend
Reversals are considered age appropriate until 9. Don't worry too much. I
generally just used a cue like, Something's walking backwards... If your
students are older, perhaps you should be more concerned and others with
more knowledge about Dyslexia can take on that issue.

Something else I try with my kids is to see if they can identify that their
letter is written backwards. I do this by pointing to the correct letter
on an alphabet chart on their desk or by writing the letter myself on a
piece of paper. If they can tell the difference and/or fix it then I don't

If you are looking at the early elementary level, you'll want to know that
it is as common to reverse single letters at times as it is to never reverse
letters. It comes from not yet having enough experience with print, and
that tells you what activities to do. The child needs more experience

No wonder children have problems with letter reversals until grade three.
From the moment they were born they were taught object permanence. An
apple is an apple whether facing left or right, up or down. A lamp is a

I tell them to say a boy kicking a ball when writing the b (the stick is

For d, ask them to write the round part first and say c, then close it up
with a stick and say d. CD is easy to remember.

There are a lot of views about dyslexia but most people see it as a problem
with decoding rather than comprehension...these kids can often comprehend at
a high level when the text is read TO them rather than when they have to read
