Revisitnig the Reading Workshop
Comments: 0
Chapters 4,5,and 6 focused on mini-lessons. According to the authors, the mini-lessons are the glue that holds the Reading Workshop together.(p.52) Chapter 4 included twenty days of mini-lessons that can be modified according to grade level. Chapter 5 described the 8 key reading strategies, as well as a sampling of detailed lesson plans for each one. A list of books for teaching skills and strategies was also found in chapter 5. Literary elements and techniques were covered in chapter 6, and again the authors included book lists for teaching these skills. The importance of modeling is stressed throughout these chapters. While much of this is too advanced for kindergarten, I do plan to use some of the ideas with my class.
