Mary, Our school is spending the YEAR investigating and studying comprehension, but not limited to reading. We are relying on some work we did this summer with a woman who studied with David Pearson. Take a look at anything you can find written by him. You will find articles that cite him. Think in terms of culture, cognition and linguistics as being contributing factors to comprehension. Also check out Isabel Beck's work on vocabulary development and Janet Allen as well. If you have found anything else that is worth sharing, please do share! Thanks, Leslie In a message dated 11/7/2008 2:38:22 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
My colleagues and I are presenting to our staff on Monday! We attended a presentation by Debbie Miller on Thursday and we will share our learning and information presented by her. One of the things I am trying to pull together is a list of available web sites/places teachers can go for support and learning more about teaching comprehension strategies. Also, any great ideas that provide a wow factor for teachers to want to know more about this fabulous teaching would be great. For some of our teachers this is new. For some of teachers, they feel they are fine with the way things are.....So, differentiating is great and ideas are always welcome!!!! For those of you who may work in a school or district where some don't teach the strategies.....how do you handle PD? As always....thank you!
