The reason why these books are going to be used only by me is because they will be books used for my think-alouds. I am new to this program, but it seems that many of the think-alouds/read-alouds are obviously texts that are too hard for the students to read for independent reading time. This being said, like some others replied, I will allow students to look at the book for the next week or two. I would like to keep building my library to include having some books for the classroom library, but to me right now, it seems having the read-alouds/think-alouds are the most important to have. $1000 goes quickly, and within the 6 strategies I'd like to have enough books to really give the strategy depth. Does this make sense?
Again, I welcome comments and suggestions! Thanks again, Shannon PS. I have to turn this deadline in soon, so if you want to comment, the sooner the better. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
