• We follow a Reader's Workshop Model

  • This consists of a short 7-10 minute mini lesson, a workshop session (where students are encouraged to try the skill/ strategy that was just taught), and small group or individual student conferences, where the teachers meet with students to teach/ work on a skill or strategy specific to that student or a small group of student's needs.
