We're working hard getting our Reading Workshop routines underway. After a brief minilesson on a specific strategy each day, students go to a reading spot with their book bags and start reading for about 30 minutes! About halfway through this time, we transition to partner time, when they can read for the remainder of the time aloud with a partner, while reminding each other of the strategies we are working on. Switching to partner time halfway through helps us increase our reading stamina. Sometimes students keep tally marks to track how many books they read each day. If they finish reading all their books, they read them again! Each week students have a day they can book shop, trading in any books they can read smoothly for new ones to dig into. Teachers read with students individually, in pairs, and sometimes in small groups during this time. At the end we have a brief share to wrap up the day's reading.
