I'm curious how the strategies used by the two different CTs you've had, have been similar and/or different. Obviously, the fact that there is such a range in the age group from fifth to second grade, will greatly differentiate the comprehension instruction. But, I just wonder what you are seeing. I would imagine that comprehension instruction would be much more explicit in second grade as opposed to fifth. But maybe i'm wrong!
