I haven't found it very quickly anyway.  Thank you so much for any help you
can provide.  Bev

Beverly:
The Arkansas model I'm familiar with is the Arkansas Comprehensive Literacy
Model, spearheaded by Dr. Linda Dorn.  The website is:
www.arliteracymodel.com  In addition to lots of great teacher resources, a
discussion board, and lots of great research information, Dorn and several
cohorts have written support texts.  I'm familiar with the 3 listed below:

Dorn, L.J., French, C., Jones, T. (1998). Apprenticeship in literacy:
transitions across
reading and writing. Portland: Stenhouse.

Dorn, L.J., & Soffos, C. (2001). Shaping Literate Minds: Developing
self-regulated
Learners. Portland: Stenhouse.

Dorn, L.J., & Soffos, C. (2001). Scaffolding young writers: A writers'
workshop
approach. Portland: Stenhouse

You do have to 'surf' the site a bit to get a full understanding of how much
they share for free!  Hope this is what you were looking for.
