You're right, those books are an excellent resource as is Debbie Miller's book, Reading with Meaning. I purchased Interactive Read Alouds, Linking Standards, Fluency, and Comprehension for grades 2/3 and 4/5 by Linda Hoyt. It is published by Heinemann. There are comprehension, vocabulary, story elements, literary language, literary elements, genre, and writing, reader's theater lessons included. I've found that this is a jumping off point for many of the teachers in my district. As they study the lessons, they begin to develop other lessons that extend the learning.
>>> "Lois Adams" <[email protected]> 11/17/09 5:04 AM >>> There are great lists in the Keene and Zimmerman book, 7 Keys to comprehension, as well as in Mosaic of Thought,, and Harvey and Goudvais's book Strategies That work. We used these to select the books that we have in our baskets for teacher use as mentor texts with our work here at the school on reading comprehension and strategies. You will find that many can be used to teach more than one strategies, and the important thing is always to model, model, model for kids. We also found the website 'Into the Book' very helpful for staff, students and parents. Good luck.

The curriculum coordinator is looking at bringing in a reading scheme to ensure that instruction is more consistent across grade levels. We have classroom libraries but there is concern that implicit teaching of strategies is not really happening. What do you think about taking this approach with getting into a reading scheme which still has the leveled books but is more directed about how to teach what and when? Experience with a good program or the name of a school or district I could visit to see it first hand would also be appreciated. Thank you for your help with this one. _________________________________________________________________________ _________ Win 1 of 4 Sony home entertainment packs thanks to Yahoo!7.
