[MOSAIC] (no subject)

[MrsJRoman at aol.com]

Just to share some ideas that have been helpful for  different groups that I 
have encountered. 
 
To engage readers 
  Lot and lots and lots more read alouds andtons of modeling
 
For decoding - I have done assessment and use work study activities for  each 
level.
  Making words - 4 Blocks
  Word Sorts - Words Their Way and Word Journeys
  Manipulatives - Reading Rods - Roll a word dice - Boggle
  Computer Program - Book Worm / Scrabble
  Specific interventions from Saxon Interventions
  Word Ladders - it seems that most of my students know a core of  basic 
words but have very limited skills in manipulating letters to form new  words
 
For comprehension and vocabulary
  Intentional reading - strongly setting purpose for reading before  book is 
opened
  Lots of drawing activities - great for assessment too
  Text reader such as Read and Write Gold so students can  independently 
listen to text or specific parts of  texts that they  need to repeat in order to 
understand
  Use rubrics so students have a visual model of teacher  expectations
  Use actual photographs and or picture symbols to associate words  with 
meaning
 
For fluency
  Read and Write Gold
  Fluency CD's by Raisinski 
  Choral reading - particularly poetry and familiar song - even the  pledge
  Reader Theater 
 
Writing 
  Lots of response to reading
  Lots of shared writing included drawing
  Lots of Writing stretchers - Sitton Spelling Ideas
  Writers Workshop
  Lots of peer editing
 
If anyone is interested in any names of resources - email me off list and I  
will try and share some of my favorites.
