I’m retired now but taught for many years. My favorite was a combined first and second grade. I used some of her ideas to teach my beginning readers who weren’t ready to read in a book.<br /><br />See my entry about this approach:<br />http://peggybroadbent.com/blog/index.php?s=A+Sylvia+Ashton-Warner+Approach+for+First+GradePeggy Broadbenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04124078723777200541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-2738575599797448202010-06-28T20:07:48.836+12:002010-06-28T20:07:48.836+12:00That last chapter bought a tear or two my eye when...That last chapter bought a tear or two my eye when I read it - the most satisfying thing is when past students go out of their way to say hello to me in the street - it always makes my day! <br />I've been dipping in and out of other past reads to - just inspiring!<br />JodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-44915669871947318982010-06-23T11:44:51.718+12:002010-06-23T11:44:51.718+12:00Thank you Angela

Kids are turned on to learning - we need to figure out what turns them off.<br /><br />Mostly a lack or purpose for whatever they are doing.<br /><br />Simple stuff but such a lot of imposed agendas ( other peoples purposes) get in the way these days.<br /><br />I will look up those web references.Bruce Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031065790535111400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-61237096266513689662010-06-23T02:49:36.475+12:002010-06-23T02:49:36.475+12:00Bruce,
Another brilliant and poignant post. Marie...Bruce,<br /><br />Another brilliant and poignant post. Marie Clay continues to remind us of what matters most.<br /><br />You said it best in this line: PURPOSE is EVERYTHING a small detail missing from so many classrooms. We are so busy aligning our teaching to the standards that we have forgotten to align our work to what real readers and writers do. <br /><br />This is what keeps our conversations grounded, authentic, and real. Students grow and development when we immerse them in models of readers and writers engaged in the process not the products of their work. <br /><br />I have found it helpful to share the following photos of readers and writers in action as a beginning to that conversation. I encourage students (and teachers) to notice, capture, and collect examples and share examples of their own. This not only sets the tone, informs the instruction, and allows us to achieve the standards. <br /><br />READING FOR REAL http://bit.ly/aRVok8<br />WRITING FOR REAL http://bit.ly/d0QizY<br /><br />Thanks Bruce - You continue to amaze and inspire!angelamaiershttp://www.angelamaiers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-86181512588527313952010-06-22T22:47:59.917+12:002010-06-22T22:47:59.917+12:00I am pleased Jody you are enjoying the book.I am s...I am pleased Jody you are enjoying the book.I am saving the last chapter to comment on at the end of the year when the community a teacher has developed is said goodbye to. Developing a class community of artists, scientists and caring kids is the ultimate creative act of a teacher.Bruce Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031065790535111400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-77565144290506665612010-06-22T20:05:13.266+12:002010-06-22T20:05:13.266+12:00Welcome to the Aquarium arrived at my house last n...Welcome to the Aquarium arrived at my house last night ... can't put it down ...
