[MOSAIC] Guided Reading in Intermediate/now K

[Deb Smith]

My book, Beyond Retelling, teaches theme and the concept of 'theme' really
well.  It is being used effectively by teachers in grades K-8.  It is
marketed for teachers 2-8 with no adjustments.  K-1 teachers have to adjust
the writing portion, but not the thinking portion of the ideas. The themes I
teach are related to deep thinking, like telling the truth, integrity,
cooperation, etc.  Not dinosaurs.

Hey Joy!
I use parts of Building Blocks. It is  a wonderful program!   Elaine
Williams 
came and did an  in-service for our Kindergarten teacher several years ago.

I do so many  parts of so many things, I have to stop and think of what came

from where!
 I LOVE Reading with Meaning.  I even have the Happy Reading  video.  I have

watched it many times.  Debbie Miller is a  wonderful teacher and  I love 
watching her "in action".
I just wondered if Deb Smith's new book is something appropriate for  
Kindergarten....like I need more books to read!  I love reading her answers
and 
responses on here.  
Thanks for the suggestions.  I agree with you!  Building Blocks  and Reading

with Meaning can enhance any Kindergarten program.  Jane in SC  :-)

Jane,
Building Blocks is for Kindergarten.

Have you read Reading With Meaning by Debbie Miller? Her book is  like a
road 
map for primary grades. I believe her class was second grade, but  you can 
adapt what she does for your little ones.
