Chapter+1+&+2++Week+1

Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been out sick since last Thursday. Yuck! Some of the questions that I've asked myself while reading these chapters are: What's the difference between learning about the book and learning to be a reader? Do you teach the story or teach the reader?

How do you assess engagement? Why is it important?

If I were to choose a focus question it would be - **how does a guided reading lesson differ from a strategy lesson? How are they the same?**

I think it is also important to highlight //the five tenets//:
 * 1. Match the individual reader**
 * 2. Teach toward independence**
 * 3. Teach strategies explicitly so that readers become proficient and skilled**
 * 4. Value time spent, volume, and variety of reading**
 * 5. Follow predictable structures and routines**

You may respond to one or more questions.

Enjoy!
