Right now, I have not yet met anyone who has read To Understand first without having some background in teaching comprehension strategies. I am thinking that some chapters might prove more challenging than others if you don't have that background...but Ellin herself says that Understand is not a sequel to Mosaic, so maybe it would work.

Do you think that it will be OK to do that if most of them have not read Mosaic? _________________________________________________________________ Search that pays you back!
