The key to a successful readers’ workshop is teaching your students the right procedures so that the workshop runs smoothly and effectively. Use launching lessons to create a more organized and meaningful experience for you and your students. Since many of these lessons build the foundation of your workshop and are more managerial in their intent, many don’t address a common core standard.

WARM UP/TRANSITION -In primary grades, you need to be singing with your students several times a day to increase phonemic awareness, engagement, and get the students moving. Songs are perfect for transition times. A list of suggested songs is included at the end of this packet. DO NOT PROJECT A VIDEO OF THE SONG OR THE WORDS ON A SCREEN. Students learn the words and moves through repetition. Later in the year, the lyrics can be written and used as a focus poem.

WARM UP/TRANSITION – Most true reading workshops begin with a 10 to 15 minute mini-lesson. However, in intermediate grades some teachers may choose to start with a 5 to 10 minute “warm up” during the transition between subjects (or as students enter the room, if your school has students switching teachers for subjects or if you are departmentalized). Some ideas we like include responding to a prompt in a reading journal (for some to share during the share).

At this point have your students spend a few minutes choosing a book (or they can read

one they have brought from home) and move straight into silent reading. There will be

no independent tasks to accomplish during this time, other than to simply read silently.

As students read, you will begin your conferencing by choosing three to five students to

talk with. You may choose to begin assessing your students levels or you may want your

first conference with each student to be more of a “getting to know you” as a reader.

After at least thirty minutes, gather the students together to discuss some of the book

choices they made and review the anchor chart one last time. At this point you may

Beach Reads andStar Books

Beach reads are books that are read aloud just for fun! Star Books are mentor texts. Select 10 books and read them

aloud a lot! Copies should be at each table so students can pull them out when they want to. These will serve as mentor texts for future lessons- students will already be over the reading/story and can focus better on the lesson.

Read Aloud happens OUTSIDE of the Reading Workshop!

Reading Workshop ComponentsReading Workshop includes a mini-lesson, independent

reading with conferring, and a share. Guided Reading does not happen during Reading workshop! Protecting the Silent Reading Time – During a first lesson you should lead your class in a discussion about why reading silently is so important. Help them to realize that silently reading for longer periods of time builds reading stamina and increases their reading and thinking skills.

Grade Level Independent Reading TimeKdg 20-25 minutes1st 25-30 minutes2nd 40 minutes

3rd-6th 45 minutes

MINI-LESSON –Teachers should read the book (or section/chapter of a book) for the mini-lesson during a read aloud time earlier in the day or even the day before. This allows the students to enjoy the story before being asked to focus on a specific concept or purpose. It also helps the teacher keep the mini-lesson within the 10-15 minute suggested time frame because only the portion of the story that is needed for the lesson can be reread. Of course for launching, most of the mini-lessons are about routines and management.

INDEPENDENT READING – Following the mini-lesson, students move to self-selected, or independent reading. It is imperative that students are in just-right books at their independent reading levels during this time! Also, it is necessary for students to have their just-right books in a book bag ready to go! Following is a chart of the minimum number of books needed in a book bag:

Reading Level

# of Books Needed for the WEEK

A-K 12-15L-N 6-8O-Q 4-6R-T 2-4U-Z 1-3

In the primary grades, there should be book boxes on each table, containing high-interest books that can be above grade level. They should contain engaging pictures that will spark conversations and motivate students to “read”. You want students looking through these and have discussions as they develop print concepts.

want to use an idea of Laura Robb’s that we particularly like. Teach your students how

to respond to a cue to lower the noise. Perhaps together, the class could

CONFERRING – There will be no independent tasks to accomplish during this time, other than to simply read silently. As students read, you will begin your conferencing by choosing three to five students to talk with. You may choose to begin making sure they are choosing books at the right levels or you may want your first conference with each student to be more of a “getting to know you” as a reader. Your conferencing these first few weeks should be focused on getting to know your students’ strengths and weaknesses as readers. You should be determining reading levels (DRAs, running records), assigning interest inventories, and taking notes for strategic reading groups.

SHARE – At the conclusion of independent reading, the class returns to the meeting spot to review the lesson and discuss what students did to practice a new skill on their own. During the launching unit, it might simply be reviewing the expectations of Reading Workshop.

Time to dive into the Units…

The 10 Essentials of Reading InstructionTo make real progress as readers, students need three things—

access to books they find fascinating, time to read, and expert instruction. No matter how expert your instruction, if kids don’t get enough time to read, or don’t have enough engaging books to read, they won’t progress. In the same way, if they have lots of books, but no one teaches them explicitly or confers with them about their reading, they won’t maximize their potential as readers. The following ten essential tenets of reading instruction are woven throughout the Units of Study for Teaching Reading workshop structure:

1. Above all, good teachers matter. Learners need teachers who demonstrate what it means to live richly literate lives. Teachers need professional development and a culture of collaborative practice to develop their abilities to teach.

2. Readers need long stretches of time to read. A mountain of research supports the notion that teachers who teach reading successfully provide their students with substantial time for actual reading.

3. Readers need opportunities to read high-interest, accessible books of their own choosing. Students need books that they can read with high levels of accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. They need opportunities to consolidate skills so they can use them with automaticity within fluid, engaged reading.

4. Readers need to read increasingly complex texts appropriate for their grade level. To develop robust reading skills, students need to read increasingly complex texts. Teachers can

5. Readers need direct, explicit instruction in the skills and strategies of proficient reading. Explicit instruction in comprehension strategies can make a dramatic difference in lifting the level of students’ reading. Teachers provide guided practice in these strategies, gradually releasing responsibility to students until students are able to use these strategies independently.

6. Readers need opportunities to talk and sometimes to write in response to texts. Talking and writing both provide concrete, visible ways for learners to do the thinking work that later becomes internalized and invisible.

7. Readers need support reading nonfiction books and building a knowledge base and academic vocabulary through information reading. Students’ general knowledge is closely related to their ability to comprehend complex nonfiction texts. Students who read a great deal of nonfiction increase their vocabulary and gain knowledge about the world.

8. Readers need assessment-based instruction, including feedback that is tailored specifically to them. Learners are not all the same. Teaching, then, must always be responsive, and our ideas about what works and what doesn’t work must always be under construction.

9. Readers need teachers to read aloud to them. Read-aloud is essential to teaching reading. Teachers read aloud to embark on shared adventures, to explore new worlds, and to place provocative topics at the center of the community. Read-aloud helps students develop deep comprehension skills, vocabulary, and a positive understanding of what reading can be.10. Readers need a balanced approach to language arts, one that includes a responsible approach to the teaching of writing as well as reading. Reading is critical, but it’s not everything. In a democracy and a world that requires people to speak up, writing needs to takes its rightful place alongside reading as one of the basics. Children need to have a well-rounded, balanced diet of

The Architecture of a MinilessonCONNECTION In the connection, you will engage students in the teaching of the day. You might begin with a connection to previous teaching so that children have a sense of how today’s strategy fits into their ongoing work. You might begin by saying, “Today I want to teach you. . .” and then name the teaching point that crystallizes the most important lesson that the minilesson aims to teach. (An asterisk has been included in the margin next to the teaching point to help you locate this important information quickly and easily.)

TEACHING There are four methods for the teaching part of the minilesson: demonstration, guided practice, explanation with example, and inquiry. The demonstration method is explained in detail in the Guide (on pages 85–87 for the primary grades, and pages 42–45 for the intermediate grades), and you will find examples of all four methods throughout the series. You can choose the method that makes the most sense for the teaching point of the day and or your class of students.

ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT During the active engagement, students will try out the new strategy taught hat day using a shared text.

LINK And finally, the link sets up children to go off and work during independent reading time. Typically you will remind students of the larger repertoire of strategies they have learned. That is, you will not channel all students to work on the strategy that was taught that day, but rather offer them choices for what they might accomplish, reminding them of all they have learned about this type of reading.

For more on the architecture of minilessons,see Chapter 7 in the Guide for grades and Chapter 5 in the Guide for intermediate grades.

The Architecture of a ConferenceThere are two main kinds of conferences: research-decide-compliment-teach conferences and coaching conferences. Each kind of conference has a carefully designed structure, or architecture, to move readers along skill development pathways.

THE RESEARCH-DECIDE-COMPLIMENT-TEACH CONFERENCEThere are four main components of a research-decide-compliment-teach conference: the research phase, deciding what you will teach, offering a supportive and instructive compliment, and teaching, followed by the link. You might want to look through the first several Conferring and Small-Group Work sections in your grade’s first unit book. It is helpful to find one that has a transcript or a summary of a conference, so that you can follow along as we discuss the different parts of a conference.

During the research phase, you will want to spend time understanding what the child has done and is trying to do. This is a crucial step in the conferring process, allowing you to be responsive to the needs of the child rather than reiterating teaching that has already happened or that does not relate to the child’s current trajectory of work. A simple, “How’s it going?” can start this inquiry phase.

A good conference begins with deep listening. Next, you will decide what you will teach. In this phase, you have to quickly synthesize what you have learned and identify the most important coaching you can give this student.

What is it you can teach that will make the biggest impact on this child’s growth as a reader—not just on this one text, but in her entire reading life?

Next, you offer a compliment to the reader to celebrate the work that she has done and to show her that you have confidence in her abilities. A good compliment applies not only to today’s work, but also to tomorrow’s work, and it is centered on new learning.

After making this decision, you will of course teach, or coach, the reader. You might start by naming your teaching point for the conference. You might begin by saying, “Do you mind if I give you one small but important tip?” to focus the child’s attention. Then you will describe one thing the reader can do to improve his reading, being careful to craft a teaching point that is both clear and memorable. You will probably model the strategy for the child before asking him to try it out, either right there on the spot, or when he goes off on his own. If the reader tries the work out as you are coaching, it allows for you to scaffold the work, gradually releasing responsibility to the reader.

LINK Both types of conferences end with the link. You will send the child off to continue working, often repeating the teaching point and reminding her that she can continue doing this wise work not only in this one piece of writing or book, but in future pieces and other books as well.

For more on the architecture of conferences, see pages 114–21 of the Guide for the primary grades and pages 59–68 of the Guide for the intermediary grades.

Conferring is not the icing on the cake; it is the cake. Conferring truly is the sweet spot of all that we do.

--Carl Anderson

It is through conferring that we build community with our students; conferring affords us the opportunity to reach into every single reader and writer in our classrooms. Conferring is not just an add-on. It is a critical component of our work in the classrooms. But, this is the part of workshop that is hard for teachers. We often don’t know the questions to ask our students.

.Setting Up and Provisioning the Reading Workshop

Teaching reading does not require elaborate materials or special classroom arrangements. However, you will want to consider how you might set up your classroom for an effective reading workshop. You will want to have a space for gathering (the meeting area); a space for reading, writing, and conferring (work areas); and a classroom library (to provide a volume of high-interest, within-reach texts). Take a moment to imagine how you can create these discrete spaces in your classroom.

How might you configure your classroom so that each of these spaces will work for you and your students?

You will also want to consider how you will provision students with readers’ folders or notebooks, reading logs, and writing utensils. You will want to think about how to organize the books each child is reading, such as in tabletop bin, individual baggies, or other containers. You will also want to consider how you will display or make available classroom resources such as charts, exemplar texts, word walls, dictionaries, and thesauruses.

For more on provisioning a reading workshop, see Chapter 5 in the Guide for the primary grades and Chapter 4 in the Guide for the intermediate grades.
