The Curriculum Corner: Comprehension Through Conversation, Part 7
In Chapter 7 we move across the Release of Responsibility continuum to focus on shared reading, guided reading, partner/independent reading and literature circles. Throughout the chapter, Nichols provides several examples of read-think-talk routines that are applicable to all grade levels! Once again she focuses on the importance of modeling as our young students take ownership of the reading process and on the role that various charts can play in helping to make this process interactive and authentic.
As we incorporate these routines into our literacy block, consider the implications for conferencing, mentor texts and anchor charts during Writer’s Workshop…imagine the meaningful connections our students will be making as these routines become seamlessly integrated!
To learn more about how to support independent reading routines within the reading workshop check out Chapter 7 of Comprehension Through Conversation, and don't forget to share your own bite-seized best practices via social media, email or in the footer of the Buzz!
