September
We start the school year off by launching Reading Workshop. We read a number of great books, while working on choosing "Just Right" books. This is also a time for students to practice building their stamina to read independently for 30 minutes or more! Students should always have a book to read and even a book on deck (the next book they want to read).
This unit is also a time to assess the young readers and see where they are in regard to their reading fluency and comprehension. We use these ongoing assessments as a tool to help guide us toward individual student's next instructional steps.
