Reading Apprenticeship
Lori Ceremuga and Cristine Wagner-Deitch
Strengthening Adolescent Literacy through Reading
Apprenticeship®
WestEd’s Strategic Literacy Initiative (SLI)
A professional development and research organization focusing on improving adolescent literacy across content areas using Reading Apprenticeship®, a research-based instructional framework.
Reading Apprenticeship®A partnership of expertise between the teacher
and students, drawing on what content area teachers know and do as skilled discipline-based readers and on adolescents’ unique and often underestimated strengths.
Do You Recognize These Students?
Are inexperienced but not beginning readers
View reading as only a school based activity
Lack confidence are are mentally passive with academic reading
Appear to have limited knowledge of topics in school texts.
Have limited comprehension when they do read academic texts
Are not held accountable for much reading
Expend a lot of energy covering up what they don’t understand
Keeping Those Children in Mind
Write down one or two things you hope to learn over the next four days to help those students
Pair-Share
Share Out Large Group
Exploring the RA Framework
Each small group has a quote from Chapter Two of Reading for Understanding.
Talk about the Quote: In your small group, take a few minutes to reflect on the quote and talk about it. (5 minutes)
Locate the Quote: In your copy of Reading for Understanding, locate the quote on the page referenced in Chapter Two. Read the section that contains the quote. (5 minutes)
Make a Poster: In your small group, have another conversation about the quote in context. On your poster, attach your quote and write three or more comments that reflect your responses. When you are done, hang your poster on the wall. (10 minutes)
Gallery Walk: Walk around the room and at each poster read the quote and the responses to it. On a sticky note, add your own response or question and attach it to the poster. (10-15 minutes total)
Whole Group Discussion: As a whole group, share your thoughts about the interacting dimensions of Reading Apprenticeship classrooms. How has your thinking changed (or not) as a result of these conversations? (10 minutes)
Debrief the ProcessThe Content
What caught your attention?What issues/questions did you notice as your read
and responded?What new ideas did you encounter?
The ProcessWhat did we do?How did we do it?How did it support your reading/learning?
How is it Related to RA?Basic Elements of RA Routines
Engaging interest with a schema warm-up (K of the KWL)Supported by group discussion
Building rigor and challenge through critical analysis while making entry points for every student to participate
Addressing multiple goals of content learning and literacy skills
Eliciting independent responses in a safe place
Related to RA Continued…Repeated readings to support silent reading
fluency
When we give students support with reading, they are more likely to engage in the task
Negotiating meeting supported by the group – providing further opportunities for deeper learning
Norm SettingTo work together as a community we need to
create some agreements about how we will interact with each other.
