If you missed my free workshop on 3 proven steps to get your students to love reading and master the standards, this episode is created especially for you! In this episode, I’m going to go over some of the key points I covered in that training. You’ll hear my most favorite ways to create a reading block that is centered on your students, with an emphasis on independent reading time!
As you are getting ready to go back to school, I want you to take some time to consider what you are going to do to help increase the student involvement in your reading block. If you closed your eyes and envisioned your reading block going as smoothly as possible, what does that look like for you? Does it involve the majority of your block being independent reading time? I believe this is the key to giving our students the time they need to practice and master the skills we teach during our mini-lessons! Tune in to hear how you can work your student’s up to reading independently for 40-45 minutes per day. Yes, it’s possible!
In this episode I share:
-
3 things to consider when creating a student-centered reading block
-
Habits and behaviors that students need to have in order to work independently
-
Letting ourselves experience failure with our instruction and using it as a chance to grow
-
A reminder that repetition and practice is the key to mastery
