Something I think I could collect is …

Good thoughtful questions that will give me good information, such as, What is a reader? What does a reader do? Why do you read? What kinds of things do you do before you read?

For students' running records, highlight what they do, what they aren't, and seeing growth.

videotape individual independent reading and look at what strategies students are using.

What I hope that would help me know about my students learning is

see growth as readers or lack of it. Growth in comprehension and understanding of reading for real purposes.


What I’m thinking now about my inquiry is …
that my question is still unformulated. I know it is about differentiation in reading. It is NOT how do I differentiate reading? It is more... where are my students with their reading and where do they need to go? What are the students telling me about what they don't do as readers. How do I learn to read signs about where my students need to go with their reading? How can reading growth be tracked in a meaningful way?
