Laurie, I couldn't agree more, however new ground to cover and revisiting overworked and overtaught strategies aren't the same thing to me. We are covering new ground with exposure to a variety of genre, authors, book shares, book clubs, literature circles, etc. Conversations show me that we are past strategy instruction in many instances. Luckily, my third graders aren't yet asked to read procedural and ed research text but who knows what the future may bring. (just kidding)
"Personally, I think there will always be new ground to cover. Genre, complexity of text, 'classic reading'--I truly believe we are all life long learners when it comes to reading. I can be reduced to jelly by complex, procedural text and reading ed research is an area where I must be far more cognizant of reading strategies."
