launching readers workshop
Students are introduced to the routines, procedures, and processes of reading workshop. In addition, they define and practice academic strategies, including: analyzing, evaluating, summarizing, comparing and contrasting, predicting, explaining, and inferring.
Readers grow stronger by getting lost in books, building their reading stamina, and reading fluently. It is important that students learn how to choose "just right" books.
One method is the "I PICK" method. This helps students avoid choosing books that are too easy or too hard, which can cause them to lose interest and potentially have a negative view of reading. Here are some books we will read to learn some power verbs that play an important part of building comprehension.
