Reading Street Linky Party!

Okay, this is my first time doing a linky party and I don't wanna throw a dud of a party, so I'll try and make it good :) When I was a first year teacher it was my school's 2nd year using Reading Street. I was constantly googling ideas and finding absolutely NOTHING! That was before I discovered the world of teacher blogs and since this discovery, I have found thousands of fabulous ideas, not just for Scott Foresman Reading Street but with all things teaching.
So here's the party details. Share one idea for using Scott Foresman Reading Street in your classroom. Not just first grade, but all grades! It can be a display, the way you teach whole or small group, center ideas, anything and everything Reading Street! I've already shared all my ideas before the idea of this party was mentioned, but my previous ideas can be found here, here, here, here, and here.

    I was just wondering, do you use Pinterest? It is a great way of "pinning" or keeping track of ideas you find online. If you do, I would love to see what school ideas you've found. If not, check it out (http://pinterest.com) and if you like it, I can send you an invitation to join. :-)

    Hey I'm sorry one of mine posted twice! Could you please delete entry #5 (Repeat of "The Dot").
    I'm glad to get some new ideas with reading street! Also, if you haven't seen Robin Parker's reading street resources, it's a must visit!


    And here is Waltke's Web, which has K-5 Scott Foresman Resources.

    I sent in a link for the Reading Street spreadsheet for skills that helps me keep my reading plans organized and ready to roll.

    There's a chance I may have added my link twice on your linky party. OOPS! This is still all new to me. My apologies!

    Thanks for hosting!

    I love reading all the different ways to use Reading Street. I too felt overwhelmed with the series until I found all the great resources all of you share! I have a question...How do you take grades? Do you take a spelling test grade, concept grade, fluency? How do you assess for end of six weeks report cards? Just wandering how you manage with so much in this series.

    Thanks!

    Mireya- We take a spelling grade, weekly selection test grade, D.O.L. (Daily Fix It) grade, and starting in Unit 3, we take a Fresh Read grade. We then take an average of all those grades and get a report grade for each subject. :)

    I'm a newbie to blogging and to linky parties so I hope I do this right!!! I use S.F. and integrate it into my writing. I map out the word work skills and introduce many of them during my modeled writing time and talk with the kids about the skills during conferencing.

    I use Waltke's web, and I teach in groups. I use the Leveled readers to help me! Each group may be on a different story, it sounds confusing, but it works for me:)
