[MOSAIC] strategies for little ones

[cappetro at aol.com]

Has anyone checked out the new Stenhouse book, Power Reading? It is for K-3 and I have started making grade-level book bins for the strategy work involved. They use five startegies, which I think is a goodk-2 start and then go into the Toolkit. Has anyone used this? I bought a bunch if the books for my teachers.

The two things that my current class seems to like to write or talk about is
their questions and their conenctions they  have made to the text they have
read.  Everytime I read to the class I try to come up with questions and
write them on our class reading log and connections I have made to the text.
The students seem to really like when I share my thoughts and connections
with them.  When we are done they share their questions and connections they
have made and will write about them in their reading log.  I am always
amazed at the connections they made and look forward to reading their
reading logs.  I have students that work well above level to way below.
Where the higher level group writes much of their own connections and
questions the lower group is still working on early concepts of print and
their work is more illustrations in nature.  I use this opportuntiy to work
one on one with the writing process during our conference time at the end of
the day.  Regardless both groups have very meaningful connections and
questions and are eager to share them because they want to be good readers.
