I love your ideas and think I may adopt and adapt them for my class. I was a
little concerned, however, about the marking of the RAH-RAH sheets. If a
student takes a while to get it and starts the 9 week block with lots of
Xs for incomplete or work not done do they have these zero marks
Thank you Sally and Jan for the input. You’ve given several things for me
to think about and the reading logs thread has been helpful too.
Sally - I hadn’t heard of Atwell or Sibberson; but I checked and the
university library in town has a few of their books which I’ll check out. The

I teach grade 2 as well and I'm wondering which of Donalyn's ideas you are
going to adapt for your students for home reading?
Thanks for sharing,

I had my students read every night. The first 15 minutes of the school day
they met with a partner (their choice -could stay the same or change daily)
and told them about their book, why they liked it (or didn't) something
about the setting or character... I had a list of conversation starters,
A great article on reading in this month's Educational Leadership. It is

Allington would say that the extra reading instruction should be in addition
to rich classroom instruction. I read his book a few years ago so I don't
remember when he said this would take place - during specials (I wouldn't agree
with that), after school, another subject? - but I do remember
Love this

i love it too. i have always loved reading but hated (i mean HATED) writing
about what i'd read in a book report. this lets students experience the joy of
reading and then the joy of sharing. perfect!

Greetings.
A question that I would love to put out to the community involves vocabulary
instruction in a reader's workshop model.
What programs/ideas are out there for middle school-in particular for 6th
graders?

I am wondering if there isn't more Reading Workshop and Writing
Workshop because of the inherent shift toward more student control and
less teacher control. And horrors less district control!
It makes perfect sense to me to do readers' and writers' workshops and
I don't even think a
I tell the students they must write something. I have lots of kids in the
beginning put things like, I'm not sure what this question means or, I
couldn't remember which was the cause and which was the effect. So as long as
they have something to written down to share with their partner -
Hi
Our district is doing a book study on Regie Routman's Reading Essentials . We
are presently looking for a guide for this book because it
is going to be done at grade level meetings and also building meetings. I know
that there is a study guide for Teaching Essentials but not this book.
A resource called The Vocabulary Handbook is also a great resource to go along
with Isabel Beck's work.

I have actually been exploring some projects ideas, such as developing book
studies, and would love to do one for you if you don't find a quality guide.
It's been a couple of years since I've read that book, so I'd need to do it
chapter by chapter rather than giving you the whole guide at a

This is a wonderful approach - very motivating! Thanks for sharing - I may try
this with my adult ESL students.
