Best Practices: - doing what children need, not what a program says. - keeping meaning/comprehension at the forefront - reading to and with children - integrating writing with reading - considering alternate forms of literacy (critical literacy, mathematical literacy, visual literacy) - allowing children's needs and interests to influence instruction - knowing why you are doing what you are doing at all times

I don't worry whether or not something is "supported by research" because I have little regard for most education research statistics/generalizations unless I know what the design of the research looked like in the first place. :-) Renee On Apr 30, 2008, at 8:58 PM, Maureen wrote: > I am curious how literacy teachers K-8 would answer if they were asked, > "What are your reading and writing practices and learning experiences > and > why have you specifically chosen these?
