Readers WorkshopReading Workshop is a model of instruction that focuses on the work of the reader. Teachers model and teach directly the skills and strategies that proficient readers use. Students are taught that these strategies can be applied to many types of reading and therefore, students have the opportunity to self select books and read a wide variety of text. Students engage in a mini-lesson, small group instruction, conferring and independent reading. A child also has ample opportunities to discuss and write about their reading.
We are employing the Teacher’s College approach to Reading Workshop using the Lucy Calkins Units of Study. To learn more visit www.readingandwritingproject.com.
