Running records are a great way to assess your students’ reading and comprehension skills.  A new page on running records is now available if you are unfamiliar with this form of assessment.

I just love technology — especially when it fails!

The idea submission hasn’t been working for a few weeks — so if you submitted an idea and did not get a response, that means I never received your ideas.

So, if you would like to submit them again, the form is now fixed and available.  Send your ideas!!  I miss getting them and reading them! Thanks!
