I appreciate what you are saying and agree with you about assessing and giving students what they need based on the assessment. I am not planning on doing scripted materials and running my program based on the day of the week and what the program wants me to do. Unfortunately, I do not have the resources that have been mentioned in other emails. I am in a school district that is a total of one school with 280 students PreK-12. There was no program the reading teacher did before me, which was two years ago. I have over 50 students and 13 different groups I service on a daily basis. With no resources and not enough plan time I need something now!!!!!! I am currently doing 6 Minute Fluency, Words There Way, using DIBELS lesson ideas and have begun getting information from the Florida Center of Reading Research. I also use our state standards and our state's literacy plan. I have started a leveled reading library for the district (they did not have one before) and also use those books to teach from, taking phonic, vocab and comprehension lessons from them. My students and I also write class books. I believe I am very much doing my lessons and planning based on my student's particular needs. I just need another resource, "program" to help me so I can spend time teaching.
I thank you for your replies and your time. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Beverlee Paul Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 11:59 AM To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Intervention progams Would you be able to share what you compiled?
