Readers stay with partner reading

Readers have one book in the

middle reading

Readers act out characters

Readers act out and gesture

informational text

Readers make a plan

Readers 1 – 2 – 3 or LOOK LISTEN SAY something back


This chart could be a timeline to 30 minutes with a moving clock or star as readers gain more minutes. It could also be a bar graph or pie chart that is filled in by numeric increments as readers gain more minutes. The important part is that minutes are being collected; expectations are increased, and charted so that readers see the expectation and understand the goals for their independent reading time. The challenge of increasing minuets across days will be impacted by number of books students have access to and classroom routines and procedures. It is recommended that kindergarten readers are close to 30 minutes daily by the end of the first or second unit of study.

Sample Parent Letter Dear Parents: Your child will begin to work with books in many ways during reading workshop over the

next couple weeks. During reading workshop your child will be exposed to many

different types of books (Poetry, Fiction, Non-fiction, etc.). One type in particular are

called emergent storybooks. These are books that have been read over and over that

students learn to love and know by heart. They may not read the words exactly, however

they are reading the story by using the words, pictures and the story as they remember it,

in a narrative fashion.

These are the guiding principles of our reading workshop at school:

Readers (have time to) read books every day.

Readers choose their own books.

Readers take care of books.

Readers respect each other’s reading time.

Readers talk about their books daily in genuine ways.

Readers read and understand the story.

Reading work happens everywhere. Please encourage your child to read books each night and vary the method: you reading

to them, them reading with you, and them reading to you. Thank you for being a partner

in your child’s education and for your continued support!

Sincerely, Your Classroom Teacher

Order multiple copies (4 or 5) of each book.

Provide storage space for emergent story books within easy reach of

students.

Set your personal schedule for reading the books.

Read the first book and reread the book four times over a two week
