Reading Workshop in Kindergarten
The Reading Workshop format gives students tools for selecting and comprehending literature, students who were once reluctant to read will find themselves with the skills needed to be successful readers. Over the course of the year, students read many books and are encouraged to do as good reader's do in exploring different genres, authors and texts. The program includes peer conferences and teacher conferences with students but emphasizes students' independence and allows them to become successful readers outside of the classroom. The Reading Workshop format consists of: A daily mini-lesson, independent reading time, word work activities, small group guided reading, partner reading and sharing time.
