Essential Collaboration
Determine an essential
understanding of what each box means.
Highlight the things you already do.
Set a goal for the area you would like to
work on.
Develop a plan to
achieve your goal.

Research Based
Research has suggested that addressing students’ individual needs is an important aspect of effective reading instruction (Fielding & Pearson, 1994). Although this may challenge teachers’ traditional notions of reading instruction, forcing them to work in guided reading groups and individually with readers, the research is overwhelmingly in favor of individualizing instruction to meet the needs of all learners (Allington & Walmsley, 1995). Teachers need to put aside instructional practices that have been shown to be ineffective.

Motivation
Learning in general is indeed an intentional act. Students make the conscience decision to learn or not to learn immediately upon entrance into the classroom each day. The teachers and learning environments which the student encounters certainly influence his decision to learn.
Implementing Reading and Writing Workshop into elementary, middle, and secondary classrooms can lead to increased levels of motivation in readers and writers.
Research has found that high levels of motivation and engagement in elementary classrooms leads to high levels of achievement (Pressley, M., Allington, R.L., Wharton-McDonald, R., Black, C.C., & Morrow, L.M., 2001
![Page 13: Reading workshop](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051414/55a5bec91a28abbb778b45e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Best Practices
In workshop approaches, the teacher is seen as a decision maker, conducting lessons and creating learning experiences based on the needs of the readers in their class.
Instructional decisions are made by teachers to address the needs of the students in their classrooms, rather than coming from a commercial program. In the hands of a quality teacher, basalsand instructional materials become resources to use, rather than a series of lessons to be read aloud.

not authentic text

decline in reading scores
often times the teacher does all of the
talking not providing the students with the

Don’t promote teachers making good

need
“Basals with fidelity”

One of the most important things we can do as educators is to provide students with ample time to practice reading and writing.
It is necessary to have a classroom structure in place that supports the other students in their literacy learning.
Management and routines are key!
![Page 16: Reading workshop](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051414/55a5bec91a28abbb778b45e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Reality
Professor Pearson finds that in many classrooms, students spend little time actually reading texts. Much of their instructional time is spent on workbook-type assignments. The skill/time ratio is typically the highest for children of the lowest reading ability (Allington, 1983). Furthermore, the research indicates that teachers are spending inadequate amounts of time on direct comprehension instruction. A study completed in 1979 (Durkin) concluded that teachers used either workbooks or textbook questions to determine a student's understanding of content, but rarely taught students "how to comprehend." In 1987, Dr. Pearson (and Dole) described the importance of "explicit instruction" for teaching comprehension
![Page 18: Reading workshop](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051414/55a5bec91a28abbb778b45e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How?
teacher modeling and explanation with explicit instruction
guided practice during which teachers "guide" students to assume greater responsibility for task completion
independent practice accompanied by feedback
application of the strategies in real reading situations
Dr. Pearson emphasizes that comprehension instruction must be embedded in texts rather than taught in isolation
through workbook pages.
Such instruction involves four phases:

In order to create a literacy environment within your classroom, what things must be considered?
Think – Pair - Share
* traffic flow * rich language environment *rule/procedures
* management of materials
*good lighting * preferred seating *interests levels
* leveled library * noise level
*relevant activities * file folder games at level
*trust * comfort * safety *vision
* work to keep engaged *goal setting
Collaborate , research, plan to determine the best set-up for your classroom.

Mini-lesson : Teacher explicitly teaches a skill in phonics, spelling, vocabulary, reading, or writing
Practice: Students practice the skill independently or with a partner - a white board for everyone is key
Sharing: Students share what was learned and how it will help us in everyday reading and writing

When trust is combined with explicit instruction, our students acquire the skills necessary to become independent learners. Students will continue their learning even when they are not being “managed” by the teacher. (p. 18)
Providing choice
Establish clear routines and procedures
Explicitly explain why
Provide lots of time for students to practice
Build Stamina

Anchor Charts
Correct Modeling
Key to success:

“It is not necessary to use every
prompt for each book.”
Teachers may interpret this in different ways.
What if they don’t ask any prompts on any test?
What if they ask every prompt on every test?
What if they change what the prompt says?
What if they add their own prompts?

“Note Any Additional
Understanding”
If a student provides other information, how do you score it? Selena did not state that the picture showed the
skunk was happy (or had lots of room) in her retell, so she received a score of a 2.
○ What if Selena gave additional much deeper information?
○ What if Selena gave additional irrelevant information?
○ What if Selena gave similar information?
○ What if Selena goes off on an incorrect tangent and changes what she said earlier?
