I am finding second graders this year having a really hard time with retelling and finding the main parts. We have been doing a five finger retelling to get to the main ideas. Easier when done orally, but with enough practice they are transferring to written work. I LOVE reading workshop... but wonder how my gr. 1 colleagues held kids accountable for showing their comprehension. Higher stakes in second grade require some written responses or presentations of understanding. I am glad to hear more ideas. renee
