For reading and classroom teachers in grades 5-12, here is a
complete, step-by-step guide to setting up and running a successful
reading workshop where reading is the priority-- all conveniently
organized into two parts.
Part I, "Management of the Reading Workshop," shows how to
create a reading workshop, offers specific tools and strategies for
classroom management, and includes reproducible handouts. Following
is a brief description of the three chapters in this section:
* An overview-- Emphasizes that through reading and responding to
what is read, students communicate and share ideas while they learn
skills. Reproducibles include "Elements of the Reading Workshop"
and "The Role of the Teacher in the Reading Workshop."
*Management-- Covers everything from beginning your day to
building a positive atmosphere and organizing discussion groups.
Reproducibles include "Student Responsibilities in the Reading
Workshop" and "Reading Log Guidelines."
*Evaluation-- Provides descriptions of various evaluation methods,
such as portfolios, daily logs of student performance, and
conferencing. Reproducibles include "Book Summary Sheet" and
"Self-Evaluation Questions for Teachers."
Part II, "Using Mini-Lessons in the Reading Workshop," contains
100 different mini-lessons focusing on specific reading topics and
skills. Each of the lessons stands alone, can be used in any order
you wish, and is accompanied by one and sometimes two
reproducibles. The lessons cover:
(1) Types of Reading and Related Topics. 50 mini-lessons feature
topics such as Helping Students Select Books for Reading... The
Publishing Process... Book Review... Mysteries...Mythology of
NativeAmericans...Poetry of African Americans.
(2) Story Elements. 25 mini-lessons focus on story elements like
What Makes a Good Lead... Motivation... Style and Tone...
Symbolism... First-Person Point of View... Foreshadowing.
(3) Specific Reading Skills. 25 mini-lessons cover a wide array of
reading skills, such as Identifying Fact and Opinion... Strategies
for Improving Reading Comprehension... Recalling Details... Cause
and Effect...Reading Test-Taking Strategies... SQ3R.
In short, the Reading Workshop Survival Kit gives you all the
guidelines and tools you need to use the workshop approach
effectively, plus 100 ready-to-use mini-lessons and over 120
reproducible worksheets and handouts for teaching and reinforcing
specific reading skills and topics in any program.
