We are spending the first month of school launching Readers' Workshop with the theme of "Reading Matters." All of our conversations stem around the idea that we want to read faster, stronger, and longer.
How does a reader accomplish that? Good readers....
-share their reading life with others
- set important and realistic reading goals
- choose books that are on their own personal level
- pay close attention while reading so that the words matter
- learn ways to clear up confusion when meaning breaks down
- have ways to problem-solve when they get to an unfamiliar word
- learn ways to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words
- imagine the scenes in a story
- recommend books that they love to others
