Ready to Read PD

The concepts that intrigue me include 

• effective running records usually to be done on ready to read as they are much harder than other publications. Use other publications e.g. start with Pms and progress to R2Rs but don't move them up until they achieve Easy on a R2R
• As long as kids demonstrate the key concept during their running record they can be moved on even if accuracy isn't too high(?) e.g. Can a magenta reader: early concepts about print, gain control over one-to-one matching, expect text to make sense and sound right, and start to build a reading vocabulary of high-frequency words. Students do not need to know a particular number of high-frequency words before moving to Red.  Then they can move to the next level.

• Kids should only be on magenta a few weeks - once they have one-one pointing and recognise a few words, move to red. 
• The new guided reading criteria for R2Rs - TSM....Would love to see this modeled!!!! Finding it hard to visualise doing it for 7 reading groups in an 1 - 1.5hr max. 
• Children starting school should do guided straight away. They should beginning by taking home shared books.
