Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Scaffolded Silent Reading
OK. So this is another name for what we are already doing in the classroom
to support reading development during independent reading time. And I think
the answer to your question, "I wonder if you couldn't accomplish the same
thing through conversation, anecdotal notes, and asking children to do book
chats about books they are reading and enjoying?", is yes.
Thanks for finding this link.

"I've never heard of scaffolded silent reading. I may be able to take a
guess at what it is but could you explain it to us instead?"
Thanks,
Elisa
I had also never heard of scaffolded silent reading. I did a search and
found a clear explanation, research, and conference sheet samples:
http://www.reading.org/downloads/WC_handouts/Exploring%20Scaffolded%20Silent%20Reading%20(ScSR).pdf
It makes a lot of sense because it adds in the accountability piece that is
lacking in traditional SSR, but I still struggle with holding children
accountable for their personal reading time. A lot of time is spent filling
out homework reading logs and in-school reading logs. The scaffolded silent
reading seems is more about teacher conferencing and teacher as record
keeper. I wonder if you couldn't accomplish the same thing through
conversation, anecdotal notes, and asking children to do book chats about
books they are reading and enjoying?
