Pat,
I am working with my Title I Reading students (2nd through
4th grade) on that very thing right now! Last week I introduced the
idea that they first have to notice and pay attention to the thinking
that goes on as they read--paying close attention to their "two
voices" of reading (the one that 'reads' the actual words on the page
and the one that does the 'thinking' as you read--I introduced this
by using the "tray" idea someone mentioned on the list a few weeks
ago). I made an anchor chart to post in the room about this for us
to refer back to.
After discussing this, I modeled with a small passage of text
how I 'run into trouble' with my comprehension as an adult reader
sometimes (just as you said you were planning on doing) and asked
them to tell me what they noticed about my reading. As they shared
their observations I kept referring them back to our anchor chart on
the "two voices" of reading, and how the "thinking" (monitoring)
voice of my reading helped me to: 1) notice there was a problem, and
2) helped me to know what to do about it. I talked with them about
different kinds of readers (readers who don't monitor their
reading/notice problems and therefore do nothing; readers who notice,
but choose to do nothing or don't know what to do; and 'strategic
readers' who notice and use strategies to help themselves fix-up
their reading at points of difficulty.
Today I followed up on that intro lesson I did by simply
having them read a few pages of text and place a sticky note strip
next to text where they actually 'noticed' themselves paying
attention to their 'thinking' voice--I did this because usually the
kids that come to me are the ones that don't notice at all that
there's been a break down in comprehension!
I plan to teach them a strategy at a time over the next few
weeks. I have found some great ideas for teaching this in Chapter 2
of STW. Also, Snapshots by Linda Hoyt has some great ideas for
minilessons on fix-up strategies. The strategies I have planned to
teach the students I see are...
Re-read (I call it "Re-wind" in my classroom and relate it to
rewinding a movie when you missed a part you couldn't hear/didn't
get); Read-on to gather more info (I refer to this one as "Keep on
Truck'in"). For unfamiliar words I will teach them to: look at word
parts to help them understand an unfamiliar word; replace a tricky
word with another one that would make sense; and learn how/when to
seek help from another source (dictionary, partner, etc.).
Additionally, as I teach all of the thinking strategies (i.e.
visual images, questioning, etc.) I plan to refer back to these
'fix-up' strategies in order to show my students that sometimes it's
not always enough to go back and simply re-read. Sometimes you have
to decide to do that AND make sure you're visualizing, etc. at the
same time.

Dear MOT members,
I am an avid reader of this ListServ but have only sporadically written
an
email myself. I do want to share a "thank you" to everyone involved. I
sincerely feel that reading your emails is you sharing your thinking with
me. It
has had the most wonderful and dramatic influence on my teaching. When
someone in the group suggests a web site or an idea, I am there. If someone
suggests a book, I try to read it as soon as possible. So again I owe all
of you a
great deal of thanks for helping me become a better reading teacher.
I have a question. In my district we have an instructional council that
is made up of teachers from various grade levels and buildings in the
district. The council reviews programs, practices, materials, etc., and
then makes
recommendations for adopting programs, etc., to the administration and
school
board. I am on a committee this year that is reviewing spelling "programs".
Currently, many teachers in the district are using Word Journeys by Kathy
Gansky. (Hope I have the title and author all correct. The book is in
school.)
However, this program never went through the instructional council, so now
we
are reviewing both it and any other possible options for spelling. Finally,
my
question is this. Is anyone using any other program for spelling or
vocabulary development that you think is something my district should
review? I would
love to hear any ideas.
Thanks,
Sue Grade 4

Many of us use Words Their Way, a developmental spelling program that
focuses on spelling patterns through sorting and other activities. You can
find a
wealth of info. on the web by doing a search.
Good Luck!
