This is my first year of 2nd, and I'm doing Reading Workshop from 11-1
daily. That includes a read-aloud, Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work,
and guided reading groups, as well as a 20-minute outside break. We have
math 9:15-10:15, and then lunch (brunch) at 10:20. So far it's working
great.

conflicts and it was brutal. I was able to get it changed and was able to
do it first thing in the morning. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
This year I'm forced to do it in the afternoon because of scheduling and I
am dying! I would
My gut is that the last period of the day is not optimal but would
appreciate feedback from this group.
Hi Deb - You know, I might agree that heavy-duty new instruction wouldn't be
grand at that time, but self-selected reading would be lovely then because of
the high degree of engagement.
Hi!
I am usually a lurker, and very much appreciate the conversations
evoked by people on this list, but now have a question that I would
like to throw out there. Im curious to know what time of day 1-5
teachers teach reading and if you have found research to support your
choice of time.
