Reader's Workshop

Reader's Workshop

Reader's Workshop: Students will have a 40 Book Reading Challenge. Our goal is to read at least 40 books from a variety of genres. This figures out to be about 1 chapter book a week throughout 5th grade. Students will self select good fit books. Students will work on specific strategies to improve Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, and Expanding their vocabulary (CAFE). They will read independently for 30-40 minutes daily in class, and 20 minutes each night.

Reading skills are assessed through benchmarking independent reading, ongoing individual reading conferences, quarterly STAR assessments, and MCA tests. 

The goal is to instill a love for reading! The number one factor to improve reading ability is to read daily.
