Hi Maggie, I am reading Test Talk right now, and I think it is great. I teach third grade and we do a unit test after five stories. I am going to take 1 day a week and follow their mini-lessons and see if it helps. I am not through the whole book, but I do think they have a lot of good points. Teaching test taking like it is a genre and getting kids to really look for the text structure. I think that because it was a schoolwide movement, they did not make specific lessons - just general strategy lessons so everyone in the school could use them. Did you just read the book or did you try the lessons and they didn't work? I am anxious to know because like I said, I am reading it now.
Thanks, Linda Buice _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org. Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive.
