What is Reading Workshop?

Independent Reading
- Independent reading is time for students to read a self-selected text, respond in their notebooks, and practice what they've learned in order to build life long reading habits.
- Students are encouraged to read a variety of genres and "stretch their brains". How do you improve throwing a baseball? You throw a baseball! How do you become a better reader? You READ!
- Research shows the more you read, the more you know!
