WELCOME ALL to kbumreading!                                                           
We are s
till trying to find the time to add new materials to our site. Keep checking
back and please do
let me know when you visit our site.  Also a note to let
everyone know to be on the "look out" for new and exciting "Writing Tools" that
Marcy Roane and I are developing to help teachers prepare their students for the
changes in the NC Writing Assessments, and other literacy tools that Kathy Keane
and I are teaming up to bring to you all soon to improve classroom instruction!    
                       
Some of the "treasures" you can find on this site are:

COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES Tools including THINK CLOUDS...also the mini
version: Baby Mini Think Clouds to share with students in their Literacy Tool Kits.
Revised FICTION AND NONFICTION WALKS- for "Make It - Take It"
NEW- EOG Test Prep Tools are under the READING and WRITING link. There
are only a few there right now, more to come. These are documents from our
recent EOG Make it Take it Sessions . Let me hear how these tools help you in
your classrooms. Please share when you find other things that work as well.
