Getting Started
//Grade Three Literacy Discussion Follow-Up Survey//

This survey is designed to follow up on the Grade Three Literacy Discussion on February 3, 2010. This survey should take about ten minutes to complete and results will be available until __. Please answer the following questions.

1. Which role do you hold on the team? Please rank your response on a scale of 1-4, (4 being strongly agree and 1 being strongly disagree) to the following questions.
 * Grade three classroom teacher
 * Elementary reading specialist****
 * Administrator


 * 1) Overall how productive did you find the time spent on the meeting? 4
 * 2) Do you think that more leveled reading material will help to resolve some of our concerns? some of our concerns, but not all
 * 3) Would you be interested in piloting new reading support material? I would be more interested in using materials that we already have; or perhaps purchasing more copies of Strategies That Work for our 3rd grade teachers and working with them on implementing the strategies in this book
 * 4) Do you think that there are pieces of Fundations that should be minimized? Yes. I think the schwa parts need to be moved closer to the end of the year, and sounds that are used more often in the English Language should be introduced sooner.
 * 5) Do you think that supplementary reading materials (i.e. reading labs) would be helpful supports?
 * 6) Would you want to see a definitive list of the "must do's" and supplemental resources?

What do you see as next steps in terms of planning /time schedules in this process of improving our literacy program? I think an important step is to hear from administrators as to how much time teachers can be allowed to spend on reading/language arts.

What do you see as the three top priorities for improving the grade three literacy block?

If you agree that there are parts of Fundations that should be minimized, please list those units and /or concepts that you see as nonessential.

If you had a wish list for materials what would you request in order of priority?

Do you see value in reading activities such as supplementary reading materials to support instruction that students can use independently i.e. reading labs? If yes, please offer suggestions.

What type of professional development would you like to see?

The Literacy Team will be working on a continuim of comprehension strategies K-5 for the academic year 2010-2011. Are there any other factors we should consider in an effort to improve the literacy block?
