Dave,
Where I teach we don't have social studies or science textbooks for
2nd graders. I used a textbook that I purchased and copied it. My
second graders loved understanding how a non-fiction textbook would
look and how to approach it. I explained that is how upper grade
students and their parents learned when they attended school. It was
a really good experience.

Hi Dave,
I teach 4th grade in Plainview, NY and I used textmapping to help my
students understand the structure of their social studies books. I
also studied your approach in a study group in my school and
presented what I learned to my colleagues. Got great feed back.
I'm interested in going into it in more depth this year.
Thanks,
Myra Brand

A penny for your thoughts: If you used scrolls and textmapping in
yourclassrooms last year, would you take a moment to summarize how
things went?
It could be as simple as, "I teach fourth grade language arts in
Timbuktu,and it made a big difference for eight of my twenty-four
students." (And
perhaps you could give an example of a lesson that worked
particularly well,
or of a child who benefitted)
Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Middlebrook
