Reader's Workshop

Reading in January & February

In the second half of January and through February, we will be working in reading short but complex fiction and nonfiction texts.  We will work on different reading strategies to get through and comprehend these complex texts.  Additionally, we will teach students strategies to understand and respond to questions about what they read, using text-based evidence.

Some examples of the different kinds of texts we will be exploring are:

Fiction
-Realistic Fiction
-Historical Fiction
-Science Fiction
-Dramas/Plays
-Fables
-Folktales
-Fairytales
-Excerpts from longer texts

Nonfiction
-Narrative Nonfiction
-Persuasive Nonfiction
-Informational Nonfiction
-Procedural Nonfiction (how-to)

***Throughout this time, it is important that students continue to read their assigned independent reading books at home for at least 35 minutes each day, and work on their assigned reading jobs!
