See it in action! Click HERE **MINI-Lesson 10-15 Minutes** Each Reading Workshop session will begin with a mini lesson that lasts approximately 10-15 minutes. During each mini lesson, the teacher will introduce a specific concept, also known as the __teaching point__. Most often the teaching point will focus on a reading strategy or skill. The teacher will explicitly __model or demonstrate the skill__ for the students. Students then get a chance to practice the skill or strategy on their own or with a partner. This part of the mini-lesson is called the __active engagement__. Launching Reading Workshop Classroom Management in the Reading Workshop || During this time, students are engaged in self-selected texts at their independent level. They use this time to practice the skill that was taught during the mini-lesson. Students are reading in book nooks around the room while the teacher holds individual reading conferences or meets with small groups of students for guided reading, strategy lessons, or book clubs. Below are links to activities and resources that take place or are used during IDR time. || Bag O' Books Genre Study |||| Read Aloud/Theme Study Book Nooks Launching Workshop Reader's Notebook || I //taught you this … now go to your book and apply.
