I need to clarify...my students read 30 minutes in just right books during readers workshop which is a totally different time from guided.reading. This free reading is maybe at max 20 minutes which I was allowing 'choice' while I met with my groups. I also have poetry partners. I agree with you Lori I want kids tro be able to browse and get excited about what is to come:) ----- Original Message ----- From: "ljackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 3:41 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Monitoring meaning
