Doesn't Richard Allington have a book with "struggling readers" in
the
title? I know one of our previous principals said that the most
qualified
teachers should work w/ our struggling learners, and he said it was
research-based. Sorry I don't know more details.

This year our principal has opted to send our weakest
students to a room w/ three teacher's assistants. Prior to
this, the highest students were sent while classroom tchrs
worked w/lowest five students (30 min.daily). I am
strongly opposed to this move. With a reading specialist
degree, and nat. board candidate in literacy, I know that
the at-risk students need me, their classroom teacher. I
have a vested interest in their learning and I know about
their interests and learning styles. I certainly have
studied the field of education, esp. reading more that than
the tchr aides. I will say their classroom offers a nice
variety of materials (that look as new today as they did
five years ago).
Anyway, I need research regarding the importance of at-
risk, weak learners benefiting from instruction from their
teacher rather than a teacher's assistant.
Thank you, Ashley

I few weeks ago I wrote to everyone about my situation during my
reading
block. Short story . . . we were
told that the students shouldn't be just reading during the reading
block,
they should be working at their
station, etc. So I lexile leveled ALL of my books (over 500),
gave the
students their level, and a journal.
Told then if they have a book THEY BETTER HAVE THEIR JOURNALS!
Anyway
my
question is this... first I love journaling with the kids! I
have a
few
due
each day and just write a
little but my question is . .. should I chat with them about their
grammar,
puncuation, etc? Sometimes
I want to take my purple pen and make the corrections. So who
journals
with
their kids . .. ? Do you
make corrections? I've been really impressed with their
responses to
their
books.
Thanks for your help!
