During our reading workshop time, my children have the opportunity to choose one of the daily 5 stations (read to self, read with someone, work on writing, listen to reading, and working with words) while I meet with small groups (guided reading or strategy) or hold individual conferences. These stations are in addition to our separate writing, partner reading, self-selected reading, phonics, and quiet reading time. The book, The Daily Five, outlines how to help children build stamina for each segment and how to manage the organization of it all. 1. Read to self 2. Read with someone 3. Work on writing 4. Listen to reading 5. Working with words |
