About Me
I teach 6th grade reading/language arts, and we currently use the Scott Foresman Reading Street series. Teaching is my passion!!! I am hoping to create lots of resources that can be used to supplement this reading series. Please be patient.

Love your site! Thanks for ALL your hard work. Just curious… study guides for Unit 2??
Carla-
I have gotten so far behind in all of my stuff!! Will get right on those study guides, etc for unit 2!!!!
I haven’t even started Scott Foresman yet this year OR small group!!!!! This week is our 7th week in school-I’ve been using short passages for our reading so that I could teach comprehension strategies and literary elements and focus on the strategies/skills instead of just the “story”!
I think I’m starting Scott Foresman next week but going to stretch each story out for 2 weeks so that I can still have time to teach english, writing, word study, AND do small groups! Whew!
I love your resources ! I wanted to know which Reading Street series you derive your lessons from ?
Shanna-
I am SO sorry I am just now responding to your comment-I don’t keep up with this blog anymore. Our school uses the 2008 Reading Street.
