Reader's Workshop

We are having so much fun in reader's workshop.  I love teaching reading! I enjoy watching my kiddos get as excited about reading new books as I do.  During reader's workshop each student has their own book box with books on their reading level as well as games that reinforce concepts that they need to work on to make themselves better readers. We begin with a mini-lesson to discuss a new book and what ever skill we are working on that week.  Then the students go back to their book boxes to complete the task the we discussed during the mini-lesson.  Once they finish that they go on to work on the games and activities that are in their box. The whole idea of the workshop model is that the students are reading books that are on their independent reading level so that they can become better readers.  Check out our great pictures from our work time.
