Have you looked at the Fall, 2007 front hall bulletin board? This was posted following a school early release conversation about literacy. It has helped begin a conversation that we are continuing throughout the year about literacy and improving student learning.
How do you engage in literacy? What are some stumbling blocks to learning that you notice students have?

7 Keys to Comprehension:How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get It!
Recently, the ORMS Literacy Integration Team picked the book 7 Keys to Comprehension How to Help Your Kids Read It and Get it! By Susan Zimmermann and Chryse Hutchins.
As a parent of a 7th grader, this book has helped me realize that teaching my children how to decode words is only one part of reading. For children to care about what they read, there is much more parents can do. This book describes simple things like reading to your child, sharing your thinking about what you read, and telling your child stories.
Have any of you read this book? If so, are there any comprehension strategies as parents or teachers you would like to share?
