[LIT] Reader's Workshop

[Winiecki, Nicole]

Does anyone have a reader's workshop format in their classroom?  I am
looking to start this with my struggling readers.  I was wondering if
anyone has any tips???  I have read Nancy Atwell's book In the Middle
but I was hoping to get some feedback from teachers who actually use it.
Thanks much!

Hi!

 

Thank you so much for setting this up, Keith! Along with the link you

sent, I'm happy to answer questions here as well. A number of people in

this group have done the Slam in the past.  One innovation we're hoping

for this year is that any school who might be interested in doing a

videoconference poetry reading in conjunction with the Slam, we're going

to try to pair you up.

 

Also, I know at least two schools have already signed up, so this might
be

one of those years it fills up quickly. We'll see!

 

Take care,

Bill Ivey
