If I'm correct do you use these close reads in conjunction with that curriculum?

It does talk a lot about setting up a framework..which if you have my packets I have already done a lot of that! :)<br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830755146617373916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609605438475121764.post-16512286792824232122014-05-26T15:47:47.848-05:002014-05-26T15:47:47.848-05:00Hi Tara, Is the book Close Reading in Elementary ...Hi Tara, Is the book Close Reading in Elementary School suitable for K teachers? I just read on Amazon that it's for higher elementary... Just trying to decide if this is the best close reading book for K teachers, and I trust your judgement.

I just do close reads, but you could also do both if they were separate times of the day!<br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830755146617373916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609605438475121764.post-55027152201508637122014-05-18T10:20:29.357-05:002014-05-18T10:20:29.357-05:00Tara, I'm excited to be a part of the book stu...Tara, I'm excited to be a part of the book study in a couple of weeks! I can't wait to try Close Reading with my kinders next year. I have a question, have you ever looked at Kim Adsit's Readers Workshop units? I've been using them and they are good. Would Close Reading take it's place or could it be used during a seperate read aloud time?

Thanks SO much for posting about it. It makes me feel like it is possible to have.

Thank you! I bought your non-fiction bundle but have been caught up in my previous plans that I haven't gotten around to using the plans yet, but have high hopes for next year. Just a quick question for you. Do you incorporate other literature that fits with your theme into another part of the day? missmisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05502031700798865888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609605438475121764.post-12453333866645794932014-05-04T19:19:55.575-05:002014-05-04T19:19:55.575-05:00Thank you so much for this!

I have a question about the vocabulary. When do you have your kinders write the vocabulary words? Do you print out picture cards to support your vocabulary?bhbbankstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08099033788394756349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609605438475121764.post-14223576266870973662014-05-04T19:16:54.439-05:002014-05-04T19:16:54.439-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.bhbbankstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08099033788394756349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609605438475121764.post-86205556082578754142014-05-04T17:30:57.809-05:002014-05-04T17:30:57.809-05:00This was an amazing post!

Thank you for sharing your close read plan. ...Tara,<br />Thank you for sharing your close read plan. I have a question. When you teach vocabulary, how do you define the words. Do you (as a class) look them up in the dictionary or do you define them using clues from the text?<br />Thanks,<br />adriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233992508292010558noreply@blogger.com
