This may be a silly question but this is only my 2nd year doing reader's
workshop and focusing on comprehension strategies and so I'm still learning.
I've been spending a month or two on each strategy and am finishing up my
last one. I'm not quite sure what to do next. I probably should have spent
more time on each strategy and gone deeper which I will plan on doing next
year.
In the meantime, do I go back and revisit each one. Do I just keep
modeling how to tie them all in together?
I will continue to do a lot of guided reading with my lower students and
I'm also doing literature circles with my higher kids. I just need some ideas
for whole group mini-lessons. (I teach first grade and have students ranging
from DRA 3 to above 24)
Part of me would love to just do a lot of fun reading activities like I used
to do such as acting out stories, making up new endings, writing a letter to
a favorite character but I know that there are more valuable things that I
should be teaching them to do in order to be better readers. I'm just not sure
how to go about it. I'm used to doing a whole unit on a strategy. I don't
want to just do a bunch of random lessons.
I would appreciate any help
Thanks
Cami
