Thanks to Lori and Kelly for your supportive and constructive ideas. Lori - I am going to keep my eye open for fairy tales in my Scholastic order. Kelly - I think you are right - I need to go back and explicitly teach. Spend more time on gradual release. Roberta - I am going to bring home some of our charts to put on 8x11 paper - I am thinking about doing something for next year using interactive notebooks to file our anchor charts as well as childrens responses on the opposite side of book in order to more easily access as well as to deepen personal understanding.
The idea of have a Before, During and after Read before sharing is appealing as well..mmmmm - lots to think about and OOPS it is NOT Stephanie Harvey who has some out with Assessing Comprehension strategies but our own Ellin Keene - the book is titled Assessing Comprehension Thinking Strategies - has anyone read it - does it include rubrics? Suggestions for culminating/summative/formative activities? Looking for your opinions before I spend more $$$. Thanks again!
