Quoting Renee <phoenix...@sbcglobal.net>:
In our school we called it SSR -- "sustained silent reading" -- and
it was truly silent. Students in my multiage classroom were allowed
to sit anywhere on the floor, and I had large boxes, a sofa, and
beanbag chairs. It was after recess for twenty minutes and they
couldn't go out to recess until they had a book on their desk that
they were going to read. They were not allowed to look for or
switch
books switch books once SSR started. I did not conference with
anyone
during this time.... I read, too. There were no "accountings" other
than adding books to their ongoing reading logs (simple
documentation, no writeups) if they finished a text. If they
chose a
book that was too short to last 20 minutes, they read it again. And
again. Whatever. This was a quiet time.
How do I know my students were reading? I just knew. I could
tell. I
did not care if they were doing "deep reading" or "shallow reading"
and I did not check for understanding of the books they chose.
These
were not AR leveled books, either. These were books they chose to
read themselves.
As one of the older teachers, I find it really sad that we've
had the
questions "What is DEAR time?" and "What does interactive writing
look like?" This is not a criticism of those who asked the
questions,
it is a criticism of the system, and especially whatever education
programs they have gone through that did not teach them these
things.
sad.... sad.... Renee

Drop Everything And Read= D.E.A.R. Time. My concern with this is
that teachers usually assign 15-20 minutes of DEAR time and the
students are supposed to do just thatg; Drop Everything and
Read. >
But,
how do we know they are reading.? How do we know they are
thinkng about what they're reading? I believe there should be some
accaountability; perhaps routine individual conferencing to check
for understanding. What about a strategy focus for the time and
sharing of that strategy when DEAR time is over. By itself, we
rfeally can't tell if students are really reading.
