Lucy does indeed have a unit of study kit for reading. I believe it is available in August. Check the Heinemann site.

(No brainchild of y own but something i caught on the Mosaic website) I use this as my ulletin board in conjunction with "ROBBIE READER" straight out of Adrienne ear's book, "READING POWER" .... then as we study each strategy... I "locate" it in Robbie's brain and correlate it with the correct letter of the cronym (FACE) as well as use a visual that symbolizes the strategy (usually his is a garden related.. like seeds for schema). Last year, I made the istake of writing each strategy on sentence strip paper myself... but this ear I will definitely have the kids write out the strategy cards and somehow onnect importance to the kid who wrote it as a mentor for that trategy... if only to explain how the strategy works... my hope is to have ach kids rite a strategy card and make each one "famous" in the classroom as we se various strategies thoughout our reading journey. really wish Calkins would create a unit of study for reading K-2 as she id for grades 3-5 and like her k-2 writing program.... do have in my possession "Making Meaning" teacher guides for grades k-2 Developmental Studies Center) ... which are more scripted guided reading essons for specific tradebooks. I am thinking more about these lessons in se with my guided reading .... at least for whole group study as I like the ay they combine the necessary collaborative and social skills needed to eally get the interactive discussion between kids going... just as guided eading itself has a workshop launch, I feel the groupings of partner pairs, mall collaborative groups, and even independent conferences need rontloaded protocol.... n a message dated 7/22/2010 6:36:43 P.M.
