What are the components of Reader’s Workshop? • Interactive Read Aloud (first or last) • Mini-lesson • Independent Reading • Conferencing/Reading Groups • Mid Workshop Teaching Point • Share
Interactive Read Aloud • Used to model the work students will do as a reader within the lesson or the unit as a whole • Think alouds to model what good readers do • 1 to 2 bands above your current grade level expectation • Strategically chosen to support the work of the current unit • Tied to the mini-lesson; Therefore, it needs to be done prior to the mini-lesson (day of or day before)
Mini-lesson • Explicitly teach skills or strategies and/or demonstrate a teaching point. • Connection • Teach • Active Involvement (Turn and Talk, Stop and Jot) • Link • What is necessary and important for majority of readers (Grade Level) • Anchor Chart • Created for student use • Gives students a guide for today’s learning and independent reading work • Teaching point/I can statement (Great readers do ___ by ___)
Independent Reading • Books on student level • Students are reading and working on mini-lesson point for the day. • Accountability is crucial for success. • Reader’s Responses • Graphic Organizers • Double Entry Journal • Exit Tickets • Sticky notes • Rubric work from conferencing
Conferencing during Independent Reading Time • Student driven • Topics come from rubrics from UbD units (whole class), continuum (guided/strategy groups), and student needs (individual student). • Keep notes on each conference • Start with a positive and discuss previous reading work in reading notebook • Leave student with a teaching point to work on • Next time, check back in on the previous teaching point Rick’s Reading Workshop: Silent Reading
Reading Groups during Independent Reading Time • Guided Reading Groups • Based on student levels • Basis of work is pulled from the continuum • Aligns with the work of the unit • Conferencing can occur during this time • Strategy Groups • Based on skills students are having difficulty with during the unit
Mid-Workshop Teaching Point • Will happen as needed • Clarify the work of the readers • Show exemplar work of a reader • Extend the work of the mini-lesson if needed
Share • Review of the teaching point of the day • Show or share the work we have done as readers on the mini-lesson • If you are going to partner share, walk around and listen to student discussions to ensure the discussion aligns with the teaching point. • Strategically choose which groups share with class
