Reading
The Reader's Workshop
The Reader's Workshop approach involves students in three types of activities:
- Mini-lessons (5-10 minutes) on some aspect of literature or a reading strategy.
- Independent Reading Time (30-40 minutes), where students keep a journal and respond to the literature in terms of what they think or how they feel about what they are reading.
- Sharing Time (10 minutes), where students share with another person their journal entries and the other person gives feedback.
