Reader's Workshop
We will be beginning to explore the wonderful world of Reader's Workshop! Your child will be building his/her reading stamina by reading self-chosen books on your child's independent reading level. Each child will be taught at his/her reading level the skills and concepts needed to excel in reading. Each day, students will meet as a whole group to be taught a specific skill/strategy through a mentor text. Students will then use his/her own independent reading level book to "try out" the new skill taught in the mini-lesson. I will be walking around helping and guiding your child through this process. Students will then share new strategies learned with peers.
Next is independent reading time. During independent reading time, students will read for leisure! While students are reading, I will be pulling guided reading/strategy groups. These groups are leveled and lessons are developed to help your child grow and be challenged on his/her own reading level.
