[MOSAIC] monitoring meaning

[Harbour, Deborah]

I am not trying to be negative in any way.  I teach Kindergarten and by the end of the year my students are reading independently for 20 minutes.  To me, that is not very long.  In regards to guided reading, we only do reading activities during this time.  While I am meeting with a group, my students are reading independently or doing Literacy Stations which are all reading stations.  We don't do skills activities such as DOL and handwriting during these times.  Giving them walkmans to hear books read aloud is a great idea but don't think they should be doing that daily.  They need lots of practice on their own.  Why not try partner reading or having a reader's theatre.  Kids of all ages love that. This way you are working on fluency and comprehension together.   Just some thoughts.  I know how each county and state has different ideas about reading of course.
