Interesting thought though the checklist...3rd grade teachers??? What would you put on the list? Fluency, comprehension (what helps them- picture in their head, context clues, do they see the big picture) How they decode unknown words... Book interests-fiction, non-fiction- how do they navigate each (headings or chapter titles..are they using them to help themselves make predictions) diagrams/cut away- do they know how to use them I don't know..it would be a LONG list. You will be in quite a different boat from your 1st graders! I Yes, list would be long :-) Perhaps what you most frequently note on students would be a the "observable list". You did give me some ideas to start with. When I mentioned the "check off" type list.. I had cut up "Reading Behaviors to Observe and Encourage" which is 'adapted from Fountas and Pinnell: Guided Reading'. I can't remember where I got the chart. May have been from the literacy collaborative training. Thank you for your response... yes it will be quite different from 1st. Additionally, we have a new reading series... Houghton Mifflin that we are implementing this year. We have not had a series in about 9 yrs at the school. ~jen _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
