While WTW and P. Cunningham's activities are worthwhile, they may not be
what's best for students with dyslexia or a specific language disability.
These students need a structured, sequential, multisensory approach to
learning phonics and applying it. Please look into The Gillingham Manual

Ticket to Read (internet based) has a phonics component and reading
fluency/comprehension component. Licenses are needed for each student.
Students can access the program at home.

Pam,
I am totally with you on this. I also use the OG approach, but try to
assimilate it to the study the students are doing in class. (I'm a Title I

Linking to the fluency discussion, I came across this blog, "Summertime
Reading:To Compete or Not to Compete" by a Stenhouse Publishing guest
blogger. The writer mentions a book by Thomas Newkirk - "The Art of Slow

able to find a review of research for each program.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a book of short stories appropriate
for middle grade students? I'm looking for a mentor text to use in a

Yes, poetry is in me. I seek out a daily poem from The Writers' Almanac,
save the ones that I like in a folder, print some out and post them by my
desk. My favorite poets are (not in any particular order) Stanley Kunitz,
Mary Oliver, Ted Kooser, Kim Addonizio, Billy Collins, and Kay Ryan, and
oh,
Just a question...We use DIBELS oral reading fluency passages to measure
students' reading rate in grades 1 and 2. These readings are considered
'cold' reads because the students do not preview or practice the passage. We
also have district assessments which include a fluency/rate passage for

Have your heard of Rewards? It is published by Sopris West. It addresses

Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a resource that has a reading
development continuum and/or a writing development continuum. These would
be continuums that define stages of reading/writing development and provide

Thank you,
Hi Laura and Kathleen,
I'm just getting starting with Read 180 and System 44 with 4th and 3rd
grades, respectively. We are about to finish Week 1! I am feeling my way

I'd be interested in your indepen
