Lol!! ...You are sister from another mother I think! Lol!! Completely agree, and if teachers worry about getting them back, check yard sales or ask parents to donate books when kids are beyond that level. Kids need room on their bookshelves for what they're reading now and maybe some keepsakes.

Thank you for pu...I could not agree with you more. Thank you for putting it so eloquently. Every student, at every level of our RTI groups takes home books that they worked on during RTI. We introduce a new book every day. The older books from earlier in the week are called "Old Friends". On Thursday, the children have 4 books in their baggie to take home and read to their family. On Mondays they empty their bag and we start over again. I often hear children say that they know how to read a new word because it was in an "Old Friend", or song we learned. Many of the phonics rules that I teach come right out of the Rigby books we use. It's wonderful. All of the children feel like readers and we see so much progress every year. jbaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308218322929656612noreply@blogger.com
