The Future of Reading - 'Reading Workshop' Approach Lets Students Pick the Books - Seri... - 7 views

  • The approach Ms. McNeill uses, in which students choose their own books, discuss them individually with their teacher and one another, and keep detailed journals about their reading, is part of a movement to revolutionize the way literature is taught in America’s schools. While there is no clear consensus among English teachers, variations on the approach, known as reading workshop, are catching on.
  • In the method familiar to generations of students, an entire class reads a novel — often a classic — together to draw out the themes and study literary craft. That tradition, proponents say, builds a shared literary culture among students, exposes all readers to works of quality and complexity and is the best way to prepare students for standardized tests.
  • “I just never felt that they were as excited about reading as I wanted them to be.”

  • noting page numbers to make sure each student had read at least 20 pages the night before.
  • Ms. Moje added that choices should be limited and that teachers should guide students toward high-quality literature.

      This proves that choice is part of the workshop, but not the end all be all.
  • she scooted from student to student on a lime-green stool, noting page numbers on a clipboard chart. She asked questions about the books and suggested new ones.

      Seems so manageable, but who is this anecdotal data useful for other than the teacher and student?
  • In January two of her students failed a state writing assessment.

      This is my fear, and truth be told, some of the students who I felt grew as a result of our RW lessons didn't do well on MCAS.

      I have fully bought into the workshop model, but it's hard to transform thinking if everyone isn't onboard.
    • Callie Theodoss
       
      I love the idea that this article is highlighting the importance and significance of readers workshop. It is important for teachers to realize that it is a new way to teach literature in schools. It is authentic!
    • Callie Theodoss
       
      It is so important to realize that children are now interacting and engaged about the books they read! This is a great article to show as evidence for readers workshop.
  • unable to understand the texts.
  • But fans of the reading workshop say that assigning books leaves many children bored or
  • they’re actually interacting
  • every kid in my classroom is engaged

    It's nice to see that we are not the only ones battling with these issues.

  • The problems above can be approached with a range of mathematics, which is important for seeing the interconnected nature of mathematics.
