Reading

READING

Each day includes a whole-group focus lesson, read-alouds, shared reading, focused individual/small group reading instruction, and word study.

During the Reader’s Workshop block, first graders practice reading and rereading their "just right" books from their book boxes.

While they read, I meet individually with students, guided reading groups, and/or small strategy groups.

Other literacy activities during this time may include:

Listening to stories while following along in the book

Reading and singing songs

Reading poems

Reading big books

Playing literacy games
