[MOSAIC] reading workshop support

[Debbie Goodis]

I figure they are learning more that way than telling me they read each night, when I know many of them don't!

You're so right, they DO say they read at home.

But sometimes I really put them on the spot and they're too young to lie straight to my face. I ask them when we are doing DRA testing. I say, "You aren't reading at home, are you?" They shyly shake their head no. I have to say to them, "I know, I can tell."
It's really very unfortunate.

Another thought. As far as I'm concerned, the district doesn't pay me to read from a basal or TE. They pay me to do what it takes to get each child to make at least 1 years growth. I'm lucky to have a very supportive principal.
