Mary, I'd suggest you take a look at The Comprehension Toolkit by Harvey and Goudvis, published by Heinemann. http://books.heinemann.com/products/E00583.aspx Check out the website for specific details. The Toolkit is filled with lessons, particularly helpful for teachers new to teaching the comprehension strategies. It's 115.00 but well worth the cost.

It was written into our strategic plan, yet no one seems to know how it works in 4th and 5th grade. I 've been able to find a few resources to purchase, but haven't yet. One is from Fountas and Pinnell, and the other was from Four Blocks (Big Blocks model). Basically I'd like to know which resource would be better to buy, and also if anyone can tell me what guided reading looks like and involves at this level. Is it effective? Do you it like or dislike? Pros/cons?
