Yay Rhonda! This is why I am so optimistic for our profession. Think how dramatically reading instruction changed after Mosaic, Reading with Meaning, and Strategies That Work. I bet we are heading down that same path. Way to go, Literacy Leader! :-) Jennifer In a message dated 4/23/2008 8:39:08 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Anyways, a ninth grade global studies teacher and I presented at the North Dakota State Reading Conference a couple of weekends ago. Our presentation involoves reading in the content area. I give the "reading" stuff and she shows the way it can be done and is done! Well needless to say, I had to change our powerpoint (a week before) and the focus on UNDERSTANDING. I even made a "reflection" sheet on fancy paper to give as "homework". We totally promoted "To Understand" so I am sure sales will be up in ND. (We didn't have Heinmann here-bummer). I just so appreciate this book and the listserv to assist me in being a fervent learner. **************Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos.
