Readers Workshop with Teachers for Teachers, a couple of questions....
How will this help us?
Many schools end up teaching to the lower middle of the class. For students that read above or below the norm the needs of those students have always been "maybe later." Most of the time later never comes and that child never gets what they need. Close reading allows teachers to monitor students at all levels at least weekly if not daily. Students are then provided books at their independent reading level. In Royalston we are taking reading time very seriously to provide ALL students with better reading instruction!
My child came home and told me they are shopping for books. Is this a Scholastic Book fair?
Shopping for books allows students a chance to view many different books and add the books to their reading bags. Students choose the books and a provided a couple of minute to jot down notes about their initial feelings of the books. This allows them to have ideas for choosing books to put into their book bag.
Learning is very important and we are committed to bring students our very best. Readers and Writers Wrokshop is a 3-5 year process and although the road is long your children will get a first class education along the way!!!
