Hello all, from a snowy Maryland! We had an unanticipated 7 inches of snow yesterday...and it is gorgeous this morning...although the roads are quite dangerous, keeping me from church! As I have a few quiet minutes to reflect on our listserv, we have been quiet of late...and there has not been much discussion related to the purpose of the list...reading comprehension. Here are a few suggested topics...feel free to take one and write...start a new thread if you would...rather than hit reply to all...so that those members who want to follow a particular conversation can pick and choose from discussions. 1. Comprehension strategies: what is the state of comprehension instruction in your school? How well is comprehension being taught? What can teacher leaders do to help improve practices? 2. Students struggling with comprehension: What are you using to diagnose the source of comprehension problems? How are you helping children who need more intense, focused instruction that the rest of the class? 3. To Understand: How well received has this book been in your school? If you have read it, how/what are you using in your classroom? 4. Vocabulary can also impact comprehension. How are you balancing vocabulary instruction/word work with strategy instruction? 5. What does strategy instruction look like in your classroom right now? What are you doing differently this year from previous years? What is working? What isn't? Looking forward to seeing everyone's thinking!
