I must reiterate your mention of when to do your read aloud. Read Aloud, according to everything I've read and seen, is a separate entity, not to be included in Reading Workshop minilesson. It can be referenced during the minilesson, but how in the world could a teacher teach a 10-minute minilesson with a read aloud included???? Leslie In a message dated 9/26/2008 5:55:14 P.M.

keep your mini lesson very explicit, and short. I do realize it is hard to get the read aloud in, do the vocab, then teach the lesson, have time for them to practice with you, then they practice independently, but if you keep the teaching part short, chances are they'll remember what you said and us what you said. One way to keep the length of your mini lessons short is to do the read aloud at another time. That is a major tenet of Lucy Calkins' mini lesson structure. Just use the part of the text that matches your teaching point.
