Writer's Workshop
Reader's Workshop
This week we started reading just right books independently and in guided reading groups! In these groups, I am working with students on reading strategies like touching the words, looking at the pictures, looking at the first and last letter, skating through the word, and comprehension. Children have a "book bag" in their book bins with 2-3 just right books. We are working on reading these books for 6 whole minutes, then transitioning to reading look books for 6 minutes!
