  7. In our Reader’s Workshop time together we will: Reader’s Workshop • Explore Reading • Make Information Your Own • Live through a fictional character, experience a life quite different from your own • Choose Reading Material that YOU like • Learn methods to Read Efficiently and Effectively

  8. How Should We Choose Books? ?

  9. Ways to Choose a Book... • Look at the cover; read the blurb • Choose books by authors that you have read before and enjoyed • Read the same books as friends are reading • Hear a presentation – from a classmate, the librarian, a teacher, a friend, a podcast • Check websites that suggest books • Choose a genre that you already like

  10. Ways to Choose a Book... • Read a series – Twilight, Harry Potter, Bluford, etc. • Choose a book that has received an award • Read the beginning • Read a book after (or before!) you have seen the movie • Reread a book you’ve already read

  11. Interviewing a Book • Look at the cover • Read the blurb aloud • Preview the book by looking inside • Read the first page • Apply the 5-Finger Rule

  12. The FIVE FINGER RULE Choose a book and read the first page or two. Put one finger up for every word you don’t know. If five fingers go up while reading, choose another book. If only two or three fingers go up, you’ve found a “just right” book for you. HAPPY READING 

  13. PAIR SHARING...

  14. Homework • Interview three people (at least two must be adults) asking them the following questions: • How do they choose material to read? • What do they like to read? Examples: types of material (books, magazines, newspaper, and what genres they like). • What do they do if they discover they don’t like the material they chose to read? • How often do they read? Where do you read? • What is the best advice they could give you about choosing something to read or their best advice about reading in general.

  15. D.E.A.R. time
