"I've never heard of scaffolded silent reading. I may be able to take a guess at what it is but could you explain it to us instead?" Thanks, Elisa
I had also never heard of scaffolded silent reading. I did a search and found a clear explanation, research, and conference sheet samples: http://www.reading.org/downloads/WC_handouts/Exploring%20Scaffolded%20Silent%20Reading%20(ScSR).pdf It makes a lot of sense because it adds in the accountability piece that is lacking in traditional SSR, but I still struggle with holding children accountable for their personal reading time. A lot of time is spent filling out homework reading logs and in-school reading logs. The scaffolded silent reading seems is more about teacher conferencing and teacher as record keeper. I wonder if you couldn't accomplish the same thing through conversation, anecdotal notes, and asking children to do book chats about books they are reading and enjoying?
