I have some questions that you could address with those wanting to
"departmentalize". Does this lead to tracking students? There is
research against tracking. How will integrating subjects and content
work if the kids aren't with the same teacher for instruction? You
may be able to find research on integrating subjects. How will
parents receive reports? Would the teachers have to meet with more
parents during parent-teacher conferences? Research about small
learning communities might give some insight? You could also count up
the instructional time that would be lost during transitions. It adds
up when you add up the time over a month or year.
For ideas for your parent workshop, you could check out the Joint
Position Statement of the International Reading Association and the
national Association for the Education of Young Children, "Learning to
Read and Write, Developmentally Appropriate Practices for Young
children". It is dated 1999, so it may have an update but good
information for both of these issues.

Try the book Comprehension Connections by Tanny McGregor. It has many
hands on/concrete ways to introduce strategic reading strategies.

The website www.fcrr.org (The Florida Center for Reading Research) has
a lot of center activities for comprehension, vocab. etc... for all
ages. If you click on the "For Teacher" section and look under the
Curriculum and Instruction heading you will find "K-1 Student Center
Activities". They also have activities for higher grades.
