you could use book clubs to show how all the strategies work together.... if you think they are not yet versed... then model with read alouds Another avenue is to have them examine who they are as a reader, what they have learned, and what their future goals in reading will be....

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 ************** Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
