Growing Readers

One of my favorite times of the day is Reader's Workshop.  I love to read and it is my hope that I can instill a love of reading in my students.  Here are some ways that I try to make reading enjoyable in our class...
-Allowing students to choose their own books
-Providing comfy reading spots
-Varying reading activities (independent reading, buddy reading, reading on the computer and at the listening center)

While students engaged in their books, and are practicing reading strategies taught in class, I am meeting with small groups doing Guided Reading and targeted skill instruction.
