Differentiation

Attending a recent inservice conducted by Sarah McDonagh from CSU provided some great ideas in the areas of Comprehension, Fluency and Vocabulary. She outlined the concept of a comprehensive approach to the teaching of reading that is designed to improve student outcomes in literacy. Her handouts contain ideas for reading groups and websites that can be accessed to give more ideas of intensive instruction for struggling readers.All information is available from learning support.

I have read through the notes that Wendy collected at this inservice and I found some of the strategies outlined by Sarah MacDonagh to be really good. I have started implementing some of her ideas in my reading groups.

Wendy,
It seems you professional learning has tapped into a great resource... I wonder would Sarah be willing to mentor us as we try to get a framework for reading milestones and effective strategies?? Id love you to follow that up.
