Push In & Read Naturally
By TeachFun

|
I am a classroom teacher. Our literacy coaches were encouraging the push-in model. Last year one of our Title 1 teachers came into my classroom. It was a good experiment, and this year we will refine it. I am using Reading| Essentials by Regie Routman and Guiding Readers and Writers by Fountas et. al. as my guides. I will begin reading workshop before our title time. Then, hopefully, when it's time for the Title teacher and the ELA teacher to "push in" the class will be engaged in independent reading. All teachers in the classroom will work on individual conferences at the beginning of the year. | |
As the year progresses, I hope each teacher will work with small groups as we see necessary for Guided Reading and Literature Circles. I plan to keep groups flexible; needs and interest based. I would see each teacher working with any student in the classroom.
*This year my 3rd grade teammate is also going to use the push-in model with another Title 1 teacher. The ELA teacher will split her time between our rooms. A fourth grade teacher is also interested in hearing more!
Last year our Title teacher did pull students on ILP's two days a week during that time for Read Naturally. We both appreciate the focus on reading Non-fiction and found that those students really enjoyed the reading they did. I'm not sure how we'll work that out this year. It does interrupt the continuity of the workshop.
