Yeah! I just picked up my copy of Readacide! I read The Reading Zone when it first came out! Anyone with a lick of sense will acknowledge the cognitive dissonance TRZ causes. And I think the thought process this book initiates is one of those that requires an enormous conversation within onself before, during, and after many, many conversations with others. Deep stuff.

I wish there were a book written with a similar theme, but geared toward 1-2. There are plenty of teachers at our school, include me last year, who taught "comprehension strategies". I am contemplating now-- is it enough to just let kids read? To talk about books with them? To have them recommend books with each other? Is it enough in the younger grades to just get them to love reading? Do we teach the strategies just because we feel it gives us something to teach during reading workshop? In her book, Atwell mentions doing mini-lessons. I wonder what these are. SO MANY QUESTIONS....! _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
