Reader’s Workshop
***Guided Reading occurs in a small group context led by the teacher because the small group allows interactions among readers that benefit them all;
The framework for the guided reading lesson:
--Introducing the text--Reading the text--Discussing the text--Reteaching the cognitive strategies--Extending the meaning of the text--Word work
***Independent Reading occurs daily. Students are reading texts on their reading level and responding to them.
Role of the students: --read continuously (STAMINA) --keep their own reading records --reflect on their reading --write connections to their reading in
Reader’s Notebook
***Studies have proven that the very best way to improve reading is to practice reading!!!
