What are we learning?
We are working on creating stamina while reading to ourselves, reading to others and working on writing. We have gone over some strategies on reading for reading a book and how to hold and read a book. These skills are needed as we move into a workshop environment. When the students have the skill to work independently then the teacher can move into meeting with small groups of students.
