I hate to sound like an agent, but the DVDs that come with Dorn and Soffos are invaluable. Also any of Regie Routman's. Look up Conversations and Reading Essentials online at amazon or somewhere. Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

I have been using Readers' Workshop for 10+ years now. I was even a literacy coach for 5 years. All I can say is when I got started it felt like organized chaos. The more I learned the better it got. My readers' workshop today does not look like my readers' workshop of 10 years ago. Hang in there, keep reading, and if you can, go observe in a classroom where it is being done successfully.
