I teach a reading course as an adjunct at our local university, Radford University (southwest VA, near Va. Tech). I use Reading with Meaning, Strategies That Work, and Reading Essentials as our textbooks, along with selections from the two Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading books. Many of our preservice teachers write and thank us for using "real" books in their coursework, as their first year teaching was so much more successful than for others who didn't have that experience.
Not sure that helps you with your higher education dilemma, tho!! 8-) Melissa/VA/2nd On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 3:58 PM, kimberlee hannan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I got my credential and most of my master's from Fresno Pacific University > here in Fresno, CA.
