Where does the OWL strategy come from?  Would that be better for 2nd than some of the others?  I'm having a hard time deciding what would be appropriate to my grade level.  I was on this list for a short time before, but unsubbed because I was so unfamiliar with everything discussed and so much was over my head.  I decided I really wanted to get some help working with comprehension and I'd just have to ask what works for my grade.

Thank you Zaneda!  I couldn't remember who posted this first, but it has 
given our reading groups an easy way for me to keep things focused in our 
discussions.  The kids catch on to it easily and we refer back to it and 
expand on it throughout the year.

<Next I want to have them try some OWL reading. Zaneda posted this concise 
use of strategies that I found really successful for introducing strategies 
last year in third grade. Students will mark their own thinking for 
Observations, Wonders, and Links.
I am reading aloud Ruby Holler. I've never read it and we are really 
enjoying it. >
