Reading Workshop
Comments: 0
Chpater 7 is about getting readers to an independent, confident stage of reading. Students are responsible for sharing with each other in conferences. The environment of the reader must be conducive to reading. Teachers need to be passionate in their approach to reading or students will pick up on the discconnect between subject and teacher.
Conversations are very critical in this stage of development. Teachers are given a checklist to go by and several conferring strategies to help with the dialogue.
Chapter 8 focuses on practical ways to assess the workshop. Anecdotal records, checklists, running records, analysis, oral retellings, written retellings, reading logs, and journal responses are the ongoing assessments provided. The rubrics of instruction at the end of the book are extremely practical and easy to recreate.
