Comprehension Strategy: Thinking Theme Presentation

Pat and I thank the over 100 (closer to 120) people who attended our session. The room only held 75 attendees. We are thankful for each person who gave their time to attend. Since IRA attendance was down to only 3700 people or so it was exciting to see a packed room!

Presenting at International Reading Association

I am at the International Reading Association for several days presenting with Pat Cunningham about our book, Beyond Retelling. I hope we see you there!

I am now posting at my other blog:
