Yes. I guess where I was a little confused was when Kare talked about a 'huge
dose of intervention'. A bit of extra help makes sense.

I just finished a mini-lesson unit on discovering the author's message and then
the children just naturally started making stronger connections to the text
through the message. At the same time we covered an author's study. I have
been reading books by Eve Bunting: The Wall, Going Home and A
Hi Jan,
How do you hold your students accountable to your lesson during their
independent reading? Do you have a variety of tasks or one overriding
assignment that the children have to complete? The management and
accountability piece interests me.
Thanks.

Hi Meghan-
I am confused
Our middle school 5-8 teachs Language Arts and Reading in two seperate
periods - which I think is a sin. But that's not what I'm coming here to
post about. Our principal recently said he does not want to see the students
doing independent reading for longer than 15 minute during Reading class.
I teach third grade and I believe that 30 minutes is the minimum amount that
they should be reading independently. The latest research (I am told) supports
independent reading. We are supposed to be moving away form anything but short
guided reading periods.

15 minutes done well is better than 30 minutes wasted. If they can't do
independent reading, it's all a waste until someone can teach them. Also,
some teachers think it's 30 minutes free time for them to read for
themselves or grade papers when they should be monitoring the kids and
helping
Kids love to read when the environment supports itbe it for five or fifty
minutes. Our whole middle school has adopted it for the time straight after
lunch and it's in it's third year
thinkthe increase in library borrowing is an unbelievable statistic to show
how much 'real
reading'
This research base for independent reading is not what I have been hearing.
I would very much like to know how to find this latest research.
If you don't have it can you go back to those who told you, or can
anyone else help out?
Thanks,

I teach in the same set up (5th-8th/ separate Writing Reading) and I don't
mind it because it really lets me focus on teaching reading, intervention,
conferencing, etc. I also work with the writing teacher a ton to share trade
books and align our content. As for the time issue, with a class full
I agree, Bill, but time is not so much the issue as how teachers monitor and
support readers. The accountability factor has to matter, and not just for kids.

Put Thinking to the Test is an excellent text to assist students and teachers
in preparing for the tests that have become a part of our lives. Teachers no
longer have to focus on teaching to the test they can focus on testing as a
genre. I appreciated the fact that testing is treated as a
One of my favorite documents to use when working with teachers is the mapping
guide by the University of Oregon.
I know you are asking about older students, but this guide shows that 3rd
graders should be able to read independently for 30 minutes a day...by the end
of the year. They begin
