Readers Workshop - Working in Book Groups and with Partners

Girls are learning many important strategies through the Units of Study for Teaching Reading created by Lucy Calkins. One current lesson teaches students to think about what the author of the book wants the reader to learn from the story. Today the girls joyfully worked with great stamina in small book groups, or with partners, on a shared text within their book level range. 
They honestly did not want to stop when time was up! 

We're also creating "story pies." Within each "slice" the reader shares important information and details from their current classroom reader. It's a fun way to do a book report.
