In the fall of 2001, MiddleWeb invited interested persons from our
MiddleWeb Discussion List
and others who visited our website to join in a year-long discussion about
struggling middle grades readers. Juli Kendall, a reading teacher in Long
Beach, California, helped moderate the discussion. Juli also kept a
weekly journal of her own work with fifth-graders who were held back
after they failed to meet the district's minimum reading requirement for
promotion to sixth grade.
In 2002-03, Juli focused on Writing Workshop.
During the 2003-04 school year, Juli wrote about both her Reading and Writing
Workshops, with a special emphasis on content literacy.
