[MOSAIC] Scaffolded Silent Reading
Hi fellow educators, I was recently researching Scaffolded Silent Reading (SSR) vs. Sustained Silent Reading (ScSR) and found the prior to be much more structured as well as thorough in holding students accountable to being on task in reading and keeping track of their books. Does anyone use ScSR in their classroom that could tell me about their experiences with the strategy? -- Thanks, Jaclyn Clark ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

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?

"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?

OK. So this is another name for what we are already doing in the classroom to support reading development during independent reading time. And I think the answer to your question, "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?", is yes.
