Hi - After spending the first couple weeks of school establishing routines and doing independent reading lessons like those of Fountas and Pinnell's, I am ready to begin my explicit instruction of the Monitoring and Using Fix-Up Strategies strategy. Gina, I really like your click and clunk terminology! I am finding Tovani's book to be a good resource for teaching this. I think that first we must brainstorm together as a class how one knows that his/her comprehension is breaking down. Then I must model, perhaps with a book that is truly difficult for me, how I know I am having trouble and what I do to fix it. Again, a list of fix-up strategies can be brainstormed. Then what? Would anyone else be willing to share how they teach this strategy? I am looking for new ideas. Thanks, Kerry/5th/MA _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
