Language Arts
Reader's Workshop
We will be using the Reader's Workshop approach during our reading time. The children will be self-selecting books and using much of their time independently reading, writing recommendations, responding in their reader's response journals, and participating in book clubs.
Beginning readers must have opportunities to be challenged while they read so that they can practice the skills they have learned. However it is just as important, that beginning readers do not become overwhelmed with too difficult a text. Some mistakes are okay. However, too many and beginning readers will not enjoy the reading and most often will not understand what they read. When these beginning readers are reading books within a level with very few mistakes, with fluency, and with understanding it is time to move on to more difficult text.
