And thank you Rene. Could we please get back to the original heart and purpose of this list serve? I guess what I am wondering is how many people are on this list that joined to talk about comprehension, making meaning, supporting thinking, and how we might use the strategies to support children in reading for real reasons. Am wondering why the list is so silent on these topics. Have people with those interests left the list? Have we all been beaten down by what is happening out there in schools that is so detrimental to children??? Makes me really really sad.
