We were just talking last night about shifting some of the new posts at Reading Coach to address higher concepts like comprehension. The cool thing about her site is that the grade levels set up there are just guidelines. You can do 5th grade activities with 3rd graders if they are ready to tackle it, and you can always throw variations into the activities to make them more or less challenging. I know she's working on some longer articles that are sort of like study guides for chapter books that introduce topics like discussion of theme and characters. Stay tuned over there--tons of stuff on the horizon. The big challenge for her is getting a chance to sit down and write. @Victor it’s good that you asked that.

Anything to keep them from being bored-- other than yanking them out of the LCD system? (Lowest Common Denominator) What about helping kids who are reading way above their grade level?
