Sara, Thanks for your posting. I was speaking to the principal
and L.A. specialist in a very low income/performance elementary
school. I did ask if they wanted me to speak about a whole class
lesson or a small group reading intervention, but they just
shrugged their shoulders. So I went into how I would use Elkonin
boxes with a small group. I'm thinking at my next interview
(should I be so lucky) I will have both a whole class lesson plan
and small group reading intervention and just talk about both of
them.

I am intrigued by your lesson on sentence structure and two word
sentence contest. Would you be willing to explain?

Again, thank you for taking the time to respond.
