HI
I know this might be a little of topic but I teach first grade and this will
only be my second year doing readers workshop and i'm not sure how to start.
I know how imprtant it is to model and teach routines right away and i know
for September I'm doing schema and making connections but i

I get both. The school orders TFK and I pay for SN. I have used them
for every grade level but 1st. the children love them both and read
them for classwork or homework.

Gina,
Comparing texts is another example of how scrolls are so much better than
books. You roll out the scrolls side by side and start looking for the
similarities and differences.

Thanks so much Dave and Joy for taking the time to give me details. It did
help me envision real purposes for the scrolls. In fact I am getting ready
to begin a memoir unit and we need to establish mentor texts. How perfect

Earlier I wrote that I used National Geographic for Kids. I mainly use the
Explorer edition but The Pioneer edition is written for grades 2-3. It contains
the same stories, pictures and layout as the older edition but there is
less text and it is written for the younger grades. I use it with

I used Time For Kids for years with third, fourth, and fifth grades.

The key is the scroll. Lori's example of the picture walk is a good one.
She scrolls a picture book and lays it out on the floor. Suddenly the kids
have a new way to access this story. They can see the whole thing. They
can look down at it from afar; they can get real close to it; they can w
For non fiction, our teachers really like National Geographic for
Kids. There are several different versions, so if you have struggling
readers, you can get an issue that has the same content, but the
Pathfinder (I think) is written in easier to read text.

Hi Kim,
Me again. :-)
I agree with Felicia. I JUST got my first batch of the National Geographic
Explorer magazine and I'm going to be using it with my 5th graders next
week. The magazine is GREAT, loaded with beautiful pictures and interesting
articles, and I think the kids are going to love it.
Time for Kids is my favorite. I just received the first issue of Scholastic
News (which was ordered for me instead of TFK because the school got
subscriptions for free with points.)
I put them out for my students to take, and unlike TFK in the past, no one
took one to read! I offer this as
I really don't think anyone really wants to "get rid of parents"... but as
someone who has taught Kindergarten, often when little ones have separation
anxiety, it only gets worse the longer mom stays. Mom is, naturally, upset too,
and the little one feeds off that and what started as a few
We used Time for Kids but stopped because we couldn't keep up with it
each week with everything else we have to do. It is good, especially
for fifth grade.
I try to keep lots of magazines in my room especially for those kids
who are nonfiction readers. It has made a WORLD of difference to
Kimberly,
National Geographic for Kids has a great magazine called Explorer. There's
a lot of content to it especially for the strategies. You might want to
take a look at it.

Heather,
I sent this message before I finished, so here it goes again. This is
very close to the way I run my lit circles in second grade. I added
the artful artist/time tracker(settinng) after they learn the first
four positions. But last year when I asked for help with my second
graders you
With primary groups, I used it with dialogue study. I used guided reading
materials with readers just getting on to reading , say levels E-F, and
asked children to use different colors to highlight the conversation (a
color for each character). With other kiddos at the same level, we did just
