Hi Amy, Sounds like your school situation is not going to be very conducive to reader's workshop. You might be able to squeeze a modified version into social studies if you use historic fiction and also nonfiction as a genre focus. It gives your students less choice, but might allow you to try a workshop approach for a period of the day. Any chance of paring down the other reading program (success for all?) and sparing some more time there?
:)Good luck. We all understand the struggle.
