Wendy & others, Is Brownlie's book appropriate for use in lower elementary
classrooms? Does she give information to help you get going with Literature
Circles? Are Literature Circles appropriate for fluent first & second
graders? I want to have literature circle discussions in my multi-age
classroom with those who are fluent readers but I have never done it before.
Any insights or help in this area are greatly appreciated. I'd especially like
to hear from someone teaching with the same age range as I am, but all comments
are welcomed. Thanks.

A few years ago I started
using the model set out in Faye Brownlies's Grand Conversation. It is great
and I have had a lot of success in my literature circles since changing to
this very simple but rewarding model.
