Hi Pam, I teach in Wayne NJ where for the past 10 years we have used a reading program from HM called Invitations to Literacy. It is a basal reader that comes with different skills each week and a workbook. I've read a lot about reader's workshop and this year some teachers in my district are piloting a program from Rigby called Literacy by Design. It's more of a reader's workshop approach and a colleague of mine is one of the piloting teachers and she's loving it. I just picked up NJ Monthly where they rated Milburn HS number one (Bravo for your school district). I was wondering if you knew how long your district has used reader's workshop and how long they've had their relationship with teacher's college. The district has already abandoned the workshop approach in kindergarten and I don't want them to do it in the elementary grades without giving it a fair shake. I hoping to convince them with the information you give me to give it a try. Thanks in advance for your time.
