Whole-Class/Share Reading

The students in my field placement use individual books during whole-class reading. They refer to them as the "Reading/Writing Workshop" books. Every week has a specific concept that relates to the thematic unit.

During shared reading, teachers go over four areas: vocabulary, phonics/fluency, comprehension, and writing/grammar.

For example:

Unit 1, Week 1- At School

Vocabulary- does, not, school, what

Phonics/Fluency- short a sound, and a short story containing many short a sounds

Comprehension- Discovering key details, finding text evidence

Writing/Grammar- defines a sentence, capital letters, identifying capital letters in each sentence, and writing new sentences
