Reading Comprehension- wonderful freebie from Marygrove College and a giveaway!

Marygrove posted another guest blog from me on their MAT (Master in the Art of Teaching) blog today! Click HERE to read it.

I hope you'll go check it out... you'll totally get an in depth look at what a nerd I am for comprehension! I tried to keep it semi-normal and not too crazy about my love for reading and comprehension instruction! :)

There is also an outstanding download with wonderful ideas you can use in your classroom for reading instruction.

I would love it if you would comment over at Marygrove's blog about my post or the free download they have shared. On Monday, I will randomly select one comment from the Marygrove blog and one comment from this post and those people will receive all of the reading comprehension items that I have for sale at The Teaching Oasis! After you comment there, please head over here and just leave me a "I commented on your Marygrove blog" or some other such short comment... unless you want to leave a longer one!

I think that's it! Have a great weekend! I think I might go get my gerbil a sister today... we'll see what happens!

  2. I commented on your Marygrove blog, but have a question for you on this blog. I have 2 students with Autism mainstreamed into my class and I am struggling with "on focus and quiet" behaviors as suggested by the sisters. Any suggestions or advice?

  14. Hi, I commented on the Marygrove blog, but I had a question for you. This will be my first year with Daily 5/CAFE and you said you only do 3 rotations a day, not 5. Is that for time issues or your students couldn't maintain for 5 choices?

  25. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment over there everyone! :)

    emkayeye- I do three rotations because of time and that just works best for my classroom. You can tailor D5 to fit your needs which is one of the great things about it! :)
