Reading Workshop

During our daily Reading Workshop we are learning about how the workshop will be structured.  We start with a reading mini-lesson and then readers go off to "read" their books.  We have learned how to take care of books, the parts of a book, and how to select just right books.  Next we will be learning about the three ways to "read" a book...by looking at the pictures, retelling a familiar book, and reading the words.  After a mini-lesson readers then go off to a quiet spot to enjoy the books from their book basket.  This week I introduced the Listening Station, which will also be an option during our Reading Workshop.
