Re: Reading Comprehension and DIBELS Testing Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:08:24 -0500 From: N2Books <N2Books@CABLEONE.NET> Subject: Survey: Reading Comprehension and DIBELS Testing Jan Cole LMS Horace Mann Elementary Duncan, OK 73533 n2books@cableone.net Yes, this is old news to reading coaches in Alabama who became aware of this when we tried to get schools to do the retell component. Many of our schools still do not, but those that do have made their teachers and students aware of reading for understanding and not for speed.

I am trying to put together a list of good Spanish-language picture books to share with them. The majority of books I have found are bilingual, which is great, but some of the kids are put off by the fact that there are double the words per page in these books. Suggestions of good Spanish-language books, maybe even featuring Latino characters and culture, would be much appreciated! Thank you for your help!
