Shirley, Funny you should ask. Our principal has assigned us a book review titled Literacy Strategies for Improving Mathematics Instruction by Joan M. Kenney et al. It is a short read with chapters like, Reading a Mathematics classroom and Writing in the Mathematics classroom. It may just the resource that you need! Much of it seems to be beneficial to middle and high school rather than primary elementary. Hope it helps.

I am currently working on an idea from the " Mosiac of Thought" text to integrate a reading comprehension strategy into my Mathematic's course. I work with middle school age students and I am complating incorporating journals into the class. What I am courious about is whether anyone has attempted this strategy in a math clas and whether the strategy works or not. Also, is no one has attempeted this strategy, I was wondering whether you believe this is a good idea for incorportaing reading comprehension into the math class based on other experiences you may have had. If for some reason you believe this is not a good strategy would you please take the time to suggest one you believe would better suit this class environment. Thank you, Shirley Anderson _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
