Reading Workshop
In the reader's workshop model we use, students use a reader's notebook to share thoughts and ideas, discuss, and write responses to questions from the chapter book they are reading. Students read different books based on their DRA/reading level. The teacher's role is to facilitate discussion, conference with individuals, conduct mini-lessons for the class, work closely with small groups, and engage students in what good literature is all about. It is an exciting model that lets students pursue many different genres and develop as much as possible as readers. Reading LinksPoetry
