Most of our reading instruction is completed in a Reader's Workshop approach. This means that the students read books of their own choosing at their own level. I teach a mini-lesson on important reading topics and then the students work with these topics in their own reading. Each student has a book box created out of an inside-out cereal box (a big thank you goes out to all the parents who brought in boxes for us!) In this book box the students keep the books they are reading or want to read, post-it notes and a pencil. Each student also has a reading notebook. The notebook contains a record of their reading as well as reading response activities. I have a great bunch of readers this year and I can't wait to see what they are going to accomplish!
