[MOSAIC] (MOSAIC) reading problem

[Mary Kaleta]

In my experience, I never wait for all students to finish reading silently. 
I teach 8th grade and my students finish reading at various times. When most 
of the students are finished, I continue the lesson. I cannot quote research 
on this technique, but I know it has been discussed in some of my reading 
classes recently. I have found that in 8th grade you must keep the 
lesson/pace moving ahead to maintain student interest. I haven't taught 4th 
grade in a long time, but I would think keeping pace moving would help with 
student interest too.
