[MOSAIC] Another mosaic: The reading-writing connection

[Joy]

Renee,
  I agree, if you are talking about your average students. But my experience comes out closer to Kim's. What I have observed, is some kids (especialy those who learn differently) don't understand that they can do things to help themselves, like reading the questions first so they know the purpose of the reading. (Am I looking for specific details about the character, or do I need to infer about the effect of the character's actions? Do I need to figure out the author's purpose, or do I need to figure out the genre?)

  Much of this can be done without test prep workbooks, etc.
