I assume I will they usually like to have me around to move heavy boxes at the very least. Becky, Lisa, Shannon, and I will be there-or at least they will. New Orleans! The Big Easy! I am looking forward to that. International Reading Association's 2014 annual conference is fast approaching. I'll keep you post on those as they move in to testing I think we are more likely to see those before Crossword. Lisa has a few interactives in redesign: Fact Fragment Frenzy, Hero's Journey, and Word Matrix. We always seem to have some new idea to push the envelope on what our apps can do. It is a massive undertaking, even after all the other app work we've done. Specs are in, I've had multiple discussions with the designer, and the coding is underway. I have one more interactive on the redesign block: Crossword.
With the new year underway, I tallied the traffic from 2013, and we found we had a record year: over 20 million visitors to ! Thank you so much! It really helps us push forward, knowing we are reaching so many educators and students. I'm bad at it, and I know it, and I'm trying to do better. Two cavities? I brush everyday-electric toothbrush and everything!-and use mouth wash.

In that time, I had two cavities filled, released the Android version of Trading Cards, launched the new Video Library section on ReadWriteThink, and finished Haiku, both the interactive and app versions. And then a January and February filled with missed days due to snow and ice and cold. Well, first was Winter Break, which was a solid two weeks. Ouch! I need to get back on my blogging horse. I would like to develop a similar lesson, with a variety of activities, using alternative technology.More than two months, even.
While I was disappointed overall in this lesson, it inspired me to use it as a springboard for my own ReadWriteThink. Kidspiration also has a thinking map component for the prewriting activities, which the Comic Creator doesn't have. I would prefer using Kidspiration because there are many more pictures to choose from, it can be saved to the computer (Comic Creator has to be printed or it is lost), and it is colorful. With the Kidspiration program, the students are able to do everything that the Comic Creator does: add the speech bubbles, insert pictures, and include writing and captions.
It would be sufficient, but I prefer to use Kidspiration. I was drawn to this ReadWriteThink because it utilized the comic creator. The author has the children reading a chapter from the book independently and then playing a game where they guess a covered basic sight word. I found it puzzling that late second graders and struggling third graders would be working on building a basic sight word vocabulary. The author built this around Beverly Tyner’s work (she is a graduate of the ASU reading program!). One aspect of the guided reading lesson is using the Henry and Mudge book to build a sight vocabulary word bank. The connection to Henry and Mudge is vague, any book could easily be substituted in this lesson. I did not see anything new or unique in these guided reading lessons. The guided reading lessons are straightforward: pre-reading, word work, read aloud, and re-reading for fluency and accuracy. The lessons are built around the Fountas and Pinnell guided reading format. After reviewing the lesson, I think it is appropriate for second graders through struggling third graders. This is a standard lesson geared to grades K-3. Analysis of Read Write Think lesson, Word Study with Henry and Mudge.
