And he has a visual memory problem, which makes reading, writing, and spelling really, really tough." - I like that you started this out so we know the background, but you don't let it swirl around your impressions and descriptions of L to define him. You must be a very powerful teacher and caring soul!<br />Teacher Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10909496352850688256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724394291330902141.post-12435877307318470642014-03-05T12:36:03.387-07:002014-03-05T12:36:03.387-07:00I loved the same part Ramona did: "I take a d...I loved the same part Ramona did: "I take a deep breath. Try not to think about the tests. Listen for Don Graves' voice in my ear. 'Always respond to the content first. Let the writer know that you hear what he has to say.'" Brilliant conference.

Your response was so kind, and helpful. Hurrah for Don Graves. I should get that Graves/Kittle book to see if it's as good as the early ones.

I love how it starts with the testing and the writing and writing and writing - and my favorite part is your conference and what you see in the child's writing.
