Dear MOT members,
I am an avid reader of this ListServ but have only sporadically written an
email myself. I do want to share a "thank you" to everyone involved. I
sincerely feel that reading your emails is you sharing your thinking with me.
It
has had the most wonderful and dramatic influence on my teaching. When
someone in the group suggests a web site or an idea, I am there. If someone
suggests a book, I try to read it as soon as possible. So again I owe all of
you a
great deal of thanks for helping me become a better reading teacher.
I have a question. In my district we have an instructional council that
is made up of teachers from various grade levels and buildings in the
district. The council reviews programs, practices, materials, etc., and then
makes
recommendations for adopting programs, etc., to the administration and school
board. I am on a committee this year that is reviewing spelling "programs".
Currently, many teachers in the district are using Word Journeys by Kathy
Gansky. (Hope I have the title and author all correct. The book is in
school.)
However, this program never went through the instructional council, so now we
are reviewing both it and any other possible options for spelling. Finally, my
question is this. Is anyone using any other program for spelling or
vocabulary development that you think is something my district should review?
I would
love to hear any ideas.
Thanks,
Sue Grade 4
