Amanda Lowes's List: Reading Instruction

Based on The Daily 5 text written by Joan Moser and Gail Boushey. This comprehensive site supports the components of the Daily 5 structure which ensures all students work at their level while taking responsibility for their learning and behaviour.

Based on the book titled The Cafe by Joan Moser and Gail Boushey.  If you are not a member the site does offer access to an array of free articles and videos to support teachers who are implementing the Cafe reading strategies.

A forum to network and share ideas about literacy. Includes extensive resources on comprehension and assessment and various discussion groups.

An interactive, fun and social sharing of literature.  Book lovers are able to create a virtual bookshelf of books read, favourites and future reads. Also a useful resource to learn about books for classroom and professional use.

"Reading and writing.  Talking and learning.  It's ALL about comprehension."  This quote and blog is by Sharon Taberski who shares a wealth of insight into simplifying reading comprehension instruction and learning.

This site has been written based on the works of Debbie Miller (Reading With Meaning) and Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis' (Strategies That Work).  The format of the Reader's Workshop provided is closely aligned with the Daily 5 structure and I appreciate the reading comprehension strategies with activities that are included.

A website designed to provide insight into the teaching of reading and helping those who struggle.
