We had arguments about this, and I lost until a new teacher came in and supported me. Frankly, if a student is 2 or more years- even less, frankly - then they really do need to sacrifice music, or art, or another special for extra reading instruction, and stay in the regular class for regular reading instruction. Before I got that extra vote in the faculty meetings, the remedial kids were getting pulled out of their regular classes to meet with me...so they were getting exactly the same amount of instruction as everyone else. That's not the idea. They should be participating in reading and writing workshop, and then going to the specialist to target their weak areas - in phonics, using context clues, and so on. Good luck! -- Amy Lesemann, Reading Specialist and Director, Independent Learning Center St. Thomas the Apostle Elementary School _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
