  The four videos by Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi (developed at Bailey's Elementary School, a school with many ELLs in the outskirts of Washington DC) cover all the practical components necessary for establishing and implementing a successful writing workshop, including the importance of choice, creating a risk-taking environment, the difference between skills and craft, the writer's notebook, the writing conference, revision, the role of literature, and much more.

• Do I Really Have to Teach Reading?
  Content Comprehension, Grades 6–12Building on the experiences gained in her own language arts classroom as well as those of colleagues in different disciplines, Cris Tovani, author of I Read It, but I Don’t Get It, takes on the challenge of helping students apply reading comprehension strategies in any subject. I haven't read the book, but the first Chapter that is available online would make a good test for a methods class. If you were the consultant, how would you have taught this lesson? She didn't use multilevel readings nor really prepare students for the reading. However, if that prep were provided, the reading strategies are good. Great definition of strategy.

• For the Love of Words: Vocabulary Instruction that Works; K-6
  The authors, Diane E. Paynter, Elena Bodrova, and Jane K. Doty are researchers and trainers(McREL). Many elementary students today have a reading and speaking vocabulary far below what is expected and necessary for their grade level. For the Love of Words offers teachers a practical and systematic instructional framework for helping students overcome “the vocabulary gap” so they can succeed academically, especially in reading comprehension. Unlike conventional “skill and drill” instruction, this approach helps students understand why a strong vocabulary is so critical for their success in reading and writing and develop strategies for learning new words based on the best of current research.

• More Than Guided Reading: Finding the Right Instructional Mix, K–3
  Guided reading provides opportunities to teach students the strategies they need to learn how to read increasingly challenging texts, but Cathy found that she needed to find other ways to help students gain independence. While maintaining guided reading as an important piece of their reading program, teachers need to offer students opportunities during the day to develop as readers, to learn to choose books, to find favorite genres and authors, and to talk about their reading. (I haven't read yet.)
