What is in a name?


Initially I missed the C in the acronym BCLCIRA when I created this blog. This was noticed by our treasurer, Nancy Sinclair, and I fixed it but now the original exists in Google memory which may cause you to end up on a non existent blog! By posting today I am hoping that Google might update! If you visit this site and would like to visit again please bookmark it.
Summer seems to be rapidly coming to a close and I, personally, am in the midst of doing an Intermediate Summer Insitute with 11 keen teachers giving up a couple of days of summer to update! Two recent IRA books have proven popular with my participants. They are Comprehension Shouldn't Be Silent and Quality Comprehension: A Strategic Model of Reading Instruction Using Read-Along Guides, Grades 3-6. In the Vancouver School Board we already have a book club using Comprehension Shouldn't Be Silent planned. Quality Comprehension is the latest IRA book club selection. I also love that you can download all the read along guides.
