This research base for independent reading is not what I have been hearing.
I would very much like to know how to find this latest research.
If you don't have it can you go back to those who "told" you, or can anyone else help out?

Thanks,
Tracy

I teach third grade and I believe that 30 minutes is the minimum amount that they should be reading independently. The latest research (I am told) supports independent reading. We are supposed to be moving away form anything but short guided reading periods.

Subject: [MOSAIC] Independent Reading

Our middle school 5-8 teachs Language Arts and Reading in two seperate
periods - which I think is a sin. But that's not what I'm coming here to
post about. Our principal recently said he does not want to see the students
doing independent reading for longer than 15 minute during Reading class.
Does anyone see anything wrong with having a 30 minute reading period a
week?

It really irks me.
