Readers Workshop
Frost Lake’s sixth grade uses Readers Workshop to teach reading. This is a proven model to increase student reading success. Students are provided with one hour of reading instruction and thirty minutes of literacy skills development. During the mini lesson, students gather in a community rug area to receive whole group instruction. During work time, students read independently from books of their own choosing, work on weekly reader’s response letters, conference with teachers, or meet in small guided reading groups. During share time, students share how they used the instruction strategy. The skills block includes Words Their Way lessons and other literacy skills development activities. An additional thirty minute Response to Intervention (R.T.I.) block offers students small flexible group interventions. To learn more about Readers Workshop, click on the Reader’s Workshop link.
