Jan Richardson's book is packed with great information. It includes all the comprehension strategies and is written in a teacher friendly format that basically tells you how to start teaching each strategy and how to gradually release the students to apply the strategy independently. We have been working with her for 5 years. She is amazing! I definitely recommend her book.

It has everything you need to teach the thinking skills good readers must have. In our reading workshop lessons in second grade, we have all found this to provide all you need. After 18 years in the classroom it is the best I have ever seen. -----Original Message----- From: mosaic-bounces@ literacyworkshop .org [ mailto :mosaic-bounces@ literacyworkshop .org] On Behalf Of TEDodson @ aldine .k12. tx .us Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 11:03 AM To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Reading Comprehension I am currently in the my fifth year of teaching and I have seen the same thing. Our districts focus the last few years has been on Reading fluency. This year I have had 3rd graders coming into my classroom, who are trying to read so fast that they don't even realize when the decoding breaks down and what they are saying doesn't make sense. I encourage my students to stop reading periodically and think about what they just read about and visualize "the movie in their head". If they can't, then they should go back and reread. Also, have students draw a picture of what they read about helps them with this. We spend the first few weeks of school focusing on visualiztion . I would like to read that article, it sounds interesting. Where did you find it? Have a nice day!

My name is Jennifer and I am currently a student at Wayne State University. I recently read an article that I found to be true in the class that I did my pre-student teaching. A lot of students would read with fairly good fluency, but when confronted with comprehension and critical thinking questions they were unable to participate. Is this a problem in other classes and are there strategies/activities to try to overcome this? I would like to have strong readers as well as strong comprehenders in my classroom. Thanks!
