Reader's Workshop

Reader’s Workshop is designed to model to students a specific concept or skill that they will then practice and apply to their own independent reading. During Reader’s Workshop, students will be engaged in shared readings of high interest that exemplify lesson objectives. They will contribute to whole-class, small group, and partnership discussions to better understand strategies used and concepts presented in short stories and books. In addition to sharing about what they're reading, they'll perform individual tasks to guide their learning. Daily opportunities will also be given to practice identifying a strategy or concept independently and at which time, the students will engage in student/teacher conferences for assessment and any necessary, additional teaching. Below are resources that help to supplement and manage Reader's Workshop.
