May Reading Workshop

This month, students are getting back into guided reading groups and are continuing to individually confer with teachers.  We are working on getting stronger at our current reading levels or moving up a level before the end of the school year.

Some important skills to work on at different levels are:

Level N
-Figuring out the main character's struggle and the lesson he/she learns
-Figuring out how the main character changes throughout a story

Level O
-Understanding the role of secondary characters and their impact on the main character's struggle
-Paying attention to character flaws

Level P
-Identifying and understanding the the role of the setting, passage of time and flashbacks
-Figuring out the main character's inner struggle
