I have a question...During guided reading, after kids have fininshed their work (lit log, Dol,cursive) they get to free read. I have them practicing poems, reading magazines, reading anything they want in the classroom. I know have walkmen for every student and they all choose to do this. I figure it is good modeling for fluency and they can hear higher level books. I am just unsure if I should alternate so they are also practicing. Of course they have another independent reading time in just right books and this time might be a total of 20 minutes. Opinions??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "gina nunley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 9:34 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Monitoring meaning
Janelle, As far as lessons on monitoring meaning I have a simple thing I do. We will read one page of a challenging text whole class or small group and I asked them to pay attention as they read and notice Does it click or does it clunk? Use your strategies to fix it up. then I excitedly ask after they read "Who had a clunk..." The kids get into it and then I ask how they fixed it up. If it is still a clunk the rest of the group suggests a fix up strategy. _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
