Hi Maureen, Your post was very helpful and it made a lot of sense, I'm getting up to speed on brain-based learning--it's fascinating! I like the idea of an author's study--many of my students already have favorite authors, so this would be easy to introduce. Upi mentioned Fountas and Pinnell, which I've heard of, but I'm more familiar with lexiles. I even submitted some of my studentss' writing to the lexile site to see how high it rated.
