I am always impressed when I hear about schools and districts committing to
studying and learning together! It is so important to build a common-ground
of understanding, trust and learning.
So....I presented today with others who attended Debbie Miller. Over the
summer my principal paid for 14 of us to spend 2 days with Stephanie Harvey!
That was great. What I did was show a snipet of Steph and Anne G. interview
D. Pearson on comprehension. I agree the background research is important.
I volunteered to start a study group. We really need to begin developing
our PD in house! Seeing D.Miller and Steph is inspiring, but, we really
need to support each other.
Thanks for the suggestion of Beck's. D. Pearson mentions it as one 'strand'
of effective comprehension instruction! I did put that out there too.....
Wish me luck!
It might end up only being 2-3 teachers!!!! We'll see!

Ditto! I have never taught this to 5th grade before and I am struggling
with creating lessons/ activities that are interesting, especially for
my reluctant readers.
Thank you!

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!

Take a look at Read, Write and Think...I think it is one of the best
websites available. It provides lesson plans and all of the printable
materials and forms that you need for each lesson.
http://www.readwritethink.org/index.asp
Also, here is the link for a great lesson on compare and contrast...and
you will be able to find lessons for all of the strategies you need!

Hello Jen,
There is a group on Yahoo called "Real Writing Teachers". I think they
may have files to support what you are looking for in regards to author
studies and learning their crafts. Michele Polselli NBCT

I have been watching the posts and am getting ready to do this strategy
soon. I would like to do some reading, but I noticed one post said
Janet Allen created the Get the Gist and the other post I saw, refers to
Patricia Cunningham. Where could I find more information about get the
gist?
Thanks,
Linda

I am wondering how people are embracing new technology as a tool to develop
literacy skills, especially reading comprehension.? For example, do you use
the internet to find other sources for reading comprehension.? Do you teach
comprehension using the net as a tool.? I just went to a fantastic tech
conference which was mainly for techies but I am so into literacy I'm
working on how to connect the two in a really meaningful way.? Is there
somewhere on the net where we can access on line books at Fand P levels?? Or
does someone have an easy way of getting 'just right' material?? Thoughts,
ideas, directions...as soon as I have this all together in my own head I
will send you my blog for those with the same interest to follow the
progress of this.? Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,
Here a some great websites for finding "just right" books:
The scholastic website allows you to look up books at F&P Guided reading
levels
http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/viewCustomSearchForm.do?RowsPerPageOpti
ons=[10%2C+50]
Also, the lexile "Find a book" site is also a great tool. There are many
correlation/conversion charts out there that show you the correlations
between Lexile levels and F&P levels.
http://www.lexile.com/findabook/
Hope this helps.
