Reader’s Workshop
Reading is taught in Reader’s Workshop. In this “workshop” you will find lots of literacy-based activities. The heart of Reader’s Workshop is guided reading, which are small groups of students working on the same comprehension skills; this teaching time is on your child’s instructional reading level. The class, as a whole, is also taught a mini-lesson based on a skill each week. Poetry, Reader’s Theater, reading journals, and books that the teacher reads aloud also help to make Reader’s Workshop successful.
