WOW! We have covered a LOT in a week!
What is reading workshop?
Reader’s workshop is a research based approach to teaching reading. Students will participare in a MINILESSON daily. This is a 10-15 minute lesson where I will model a skill or strategy. They will have 30 minutes of IDR (Individualized Daily Reading) where they practice the skill or strategy. Reader’s workshop concludes with a 10 minute share where students can celebrate what they learned through their practice.
Students in my class all read self-selected books! Since they are choosing their own literature to read, they MUST make sure they are choosing a just right fit book.
IDR Expectations-
· Stay in one spot
· Read the whole time
· Stay focused and THINK about your reading
· Complete your daily task
· Only talk at approperate times- READING DISCUSSION ONLY!
· STAY ON TASK
Real Reading vs. Fake Reading
Real readers:
· Look at a book
· Eyes are moving
· Sit still
· Turn pages at the right pace
· Get lost in the book
· Sometimes mouth words
· Can answer questions about their reading
Fake Readers:
· Look at the book for a second then look around the room
· Look at the teacher
· Move around
· Flip though pages
· Exchange books before they’re done
· Waste time
