About this blog....

This blog was designed to help elementary teachers teaching reading. We learned about fluency, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension throughout this course.

The text that we used as our main source was: Literacy for the 21^st Century; A Balanced Approach 5^th Edition by Gail E. Tompkins. We also used Reading with Meaning by Debbie Miller.

I am a strong believer in self-discovery. As “silly” as it sounds I do urge that if you are curious or looking for a certain idea just to ‘google’ it. By simply searching for yourself will give you the power to teach your students to the highest expectations.

Also, for future reference for myself and for others by going www.scribd.com you can upload PDF or word documents to the site and they then give you a code to copy and paste into your blog. That is how I was able to upload the PDF’s as seen below.

You can also check out my other classroom blog (that probably needs a makeover compared to this) by clicking on the link to the right. This class offered some good information, however, I plan on teaching upper division math and feel as if I might not use this as much I used my other classes (like my major history paper I wrote). But only time will tell!

One of my favorite links is: www.readinga-z.com I also really enjoy the below think sheet.

So I hope that this helps and good luck to everyone.
