Also, is there a website other than edhelper where you can get comprehension questions for books? I am doing a book club in fifth grade and one of the groups is reading Boy at War. I can't seem to find anything to help lead discussion, I would appreciate any resources you would be able to share.

Last year we began specifically teaching the "art of discussion." It was/is a lot of work in the beginning, but once we got to our second book they were flying with it. We teach them how to and what you might say to begin a discussion, change the subject, agree or disagree with a peer, etc.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "elisa kifer" <[email protected]> To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 8:13 PM Subject: [MOSAIC] Literature Circles > I am wanting to let my 3rd graders conduct their own literature circles.
