Totally agree there are many stategies, deeper thinking, themes that go along with level N. I believe there are very few 1st grader who are truly a level N reader. We struggle with that at my school. Why continue testing so high? Teach high in guided and be sure that independently they are comprehending at deeper levels. Some N books have themes that a first grader would not have any schema for, Just my opinion. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] DRA levels
