Independent Reading/Partner Reading
By liketeaching1

Clip to ScrapBook   
I use a workshop approach to reading: shared read, mini-lessons, guided reading groups, reading responses, confering with students independently or in small groups, etc. However, the most important part of all this is letting the kids self-select "just right" books for their own reading time. I don't call it DEAR. It's a precious time that my kids use to read and become readers that enjoy literature. You can read a lot more about this on the blogs sections and also the Sunflower Room. Reading With Meaning by Debbie Miller is the basis of my reading workshop approach. I also use Growing Readers by Kathy Collins as she also gives a month by month mini-lessons.
