How do you work with kids who still do not have their math facts memorized? Are there different strategies for our three grade levels and corresponding ages? What works? What does not.

Comprehension
How can I tell the level of comprehension a child has without going through the formal process of testing? Are there "quick and dirty" ways of determining where children are in terms of comprehension? What is the correlation between a quick one-minute timed reading and comprehension? How do you find time to work on comprehension?
Reading Fluency
What ideas do you have for increasing reading fluency for selected reluctant readers? Are there additional ideas to use on a classroom level? What works? How can the CAT members help?
Proximity: Close to You
How has moving next to a student who is disrupting and teaching from that position served as an intervention? Do you always teach from behind your desk? What would happen if you did not? What works?
Music: The Sound of Music
How can music be used in the classroom? How can it be used in math? In P.E.? How have you used it and what do we need to watch out for?
Voice: Volume Control
Is your voice hurting at the end of the day? Do the kids match your own volume? What are your experiences with speaking softly? Is this an effective intervention? What is the power of a whisper?
