Reading Workshop By MrsT

If done correctly, the mini lesson segment of reading workshop addresses "skills" but in the context of real literature which is more meaningful to students. The challenge is to encourage students to apply these skills in their independent reading. This can only happen if students are really reading "just right" books that aren't too challenging so that the student can practice these new skills yet allow growth.

Most reading workshops also include guided reading where the teacher can address specific needs using focus lessons and common texts.
