Warlick Chapter 3

I should probably be more encompassing when I blog about a chapter instead of just one of the topics, but this chapter is full of a lot of information, and some of it is starting to be a review from the Richardson book and learning that has taken place in class, but I do want to mention that I am very interested in podcasting. I think that I will incorporate it into the literacy classes next year. We will have students practicing their fluency by preparing short stories, poems, etc., for podcasts. I don't think they will be published. I don't really see a need to publish them. So I guess in a way we are not podcasting, but creating audio files. Then teachers can listen to those audio files to see what fluency problems the students are having. I can work with a student and record them doing a reading fluency progress monitoring probe. Then I can play it for teachers to teach them how I would analyze the probe to determine what the student needs to work on before the next fluency check.
