Definitely something to chew on. I'm anxious to see how my little readers come to me in second.

I'm going to have to do some self monitoring during my discussions in guided reading next year. I do find though, that sometimes my lowest readers have some of the best ideas when they can hear a story instead of reading it. <br />SaraSara at schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826113370064170051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-88473617307046784222013-07-15T16:01:35.770-07:002013-07-15T16:01:35.770-07:00Chrissy, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!Chrissy, I think you'll definitely enjoy it!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-78738165849774833672013-07-15T16:00:21.124-07:002013-07-15T16:00:21.124-07:00Connie, that's about the best compliment my bl...Connie, that's about the best compliment my blog can ever get.

I'll be using a different curriculum at my new job and I'm excited to see how it introduces phonemic knowledge.<br /><br />Adding your book title to my reading list!

Some of those books at first don't seem to have anything deep to offer. We had a story that the child asks the dad to go in the water and Dad says no each time. So we got into some conversations about why Dad might not want to go in the water. Their thinking about this was really good! Thanks for the reminder to do more of this. :)<br />Lori<br /><b><a href="http://conversationsinliteracy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Conversations in Literacy</a></b>Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511344892381128298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-16429767998255145552013-07-15T08:51:14.197-07:002013-07-15T08:51:14.197-07:00Looks like a great book!
