Hi Maxine, I don't know if this was addressed to anyone in particular but I thought I would go ahead and answer it. I have a 7-day schedule at my school. The way I did it this past year (may not be how I do it next year) was to have three consecutive days for writing workshop and three consecutive days for reading workshop. The seventh day the kids had a choice of what they wanted to do. I have approximately 50 minutes for each kind of workshop. The first 10 minutes I had kids do silent reading. The following 20 - 30 minutes was to continue reading and for me to conference with kids. I allowed 10 minutes for sharing. I did my instruction before silent reading or during read aloud which was at another time. Sometimes the sharing happened right after the silent reading time, sometimes it was at the end of the workshop, and sometimes it happened the next morning. Elisa Waingort Calgary, Canada How do you schedule reading conferences, guided reading, mini lessons etc? How long is your reading workshop time? Maxine
