My book, Beyond Retelling, teaches theme and the concept of 'theme' really well. It is being used effectively by teachers in grades K-8. It is marketed for teachers 2-8 with no adjustments. K-1 teachers have to adjust the writing portion, but not the thinking portion of the ideas. The themes I teach are related to deep thinking, like telling the truth, integrity, cooperation, etc. Not dinosaurs.
deb Hey Joy! I use parts of Building Blocks. It is a wonderful program! Elaine Williams came and did an in-service for our Kindergarten teacher several years ago. I do so many parts of so many things, I have to stop and think of what came from where! I LOVE Reading with Meaning. I even have the Happy Reading video. I have watched it many times. Debbie Miller is a wonderful teacher and I love watching her "in action". I just wondered if Deb Smith's new book is something appropriate for Kindergarten....like I need more books to read! I love reading her answers and responses on here. Thanks for the suggestions. I agree with you! Building Blocks and Reading with Meaning can enhance any Kindergarten program.

Her book is like a road map for primary grades. I believe her class was second grade, but you can adapt what she does for your little ones. **************It's Tax Time!
