I totally agree with Jennifer's advice on the books.

At my school, our Reading With Meaning book club was open to all grade levels, 
and as a fifth grade teacher, I'm so glad I joined it.  RWM clearly explains how 
to teach the strategies described in Mosaic.  I found it easy to envision how 
Miller's lessons would look in a fifth grade classroom.

I had a similar experience...intermediate teachers were turned off by the  
primary focus.
One group picked Mosaic rather than Strategies That Work (it looked  shorter) 
but found it too abstract. They wanted practical.
Those that did Strategies That Work were intimidated at first by the size  of 
the book but found it the most practical and applicable of all...

I'm torn  between starting with
"Mosaic of Thought" or "Reading with Meaning." What  do you all think?
Also, as far as starting the group. . . What do you think  would be the
best possible way of advertising? We all know that not every  teacher is
open to new ideas and I really want to present it in the best  light
possible. Please share any of your thoughts or personal  experiences.
