  1. Session 8 – Literacy Stations, Book Clubs, and Reflection Refining Your Reading Workshop

  2. Agenda • Finish conferencing (slides 32+) • Literacy Stations • Book Clubs • Reflection and evaluation

  3. Differentiated Tier 1 Instruction

  4. Literacy Stations or Tasks “Students must be able to apply knowledge gained from assisted activities to independent work. “ “Generally by second grade, students do NOT need the full range of literacy stations. However, we realize that struggling readers can be found at all levels, these activities should be designed to meet the individual needs of students. “ -Linda Dorn Shaping Literate Minds

  5. Literacy Stations or Tasks The BIG Four: • Listen to Reading station • Writing station • Word Work/Spelling station • Poetry station

  6. Things to consider with stations: • How many stations/tasks do the students do each day? (one, two, etc) • How often do they do a station? (daily, weekly, etc.) • What types of activities are effective stations and tasks? • How do I manage the stations? • How do the kids know where to go?

  7. Literacy Station Brainstorm • Get into grade level teams • Brainstorm a list of meaningful and purposeful literacy stations. (No worksheets) • Packet gives several ideas. • Post your ideas on chart paper.

  8. Book Clubs Grades 2 + “Learning happens on a sea of talk.” -Nancie Atwell

  9. Book Clubs – Grades 2 + • Once students have the stamina to read for longer periods of time, they can move away from centers of stations into book clubs. PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH: • Authentic practice for reading and writing. • Opportunities for literature discussion.

  10. Jigsaw Article • “What’s the next big thing with Literature Circles?”

  11. Video • Captain Boys (TCF) • What is the value of incorporating book clubs into your Reader’s Workshop structure?

  12. Getting started with book clubs: • Selecting the text • Well written and have layers of meaning • Novels or longer texts for the appropriate grades • Variety of topics and themes • Scheduling the groups • Can meet with teacher during guided reading to discuss • Prepare – Read, think, mark • Discuss – Talk and listen • Summarize and Evaluate – evaluate group participation

  13. Things to consider with Book Clubs • How do I choose the books? • What level of books should I choose? • What if a student wants to join it, but can’t read that level? • How do the “clubs” form? • How do I teach kids how to talk?

  14. Consider Author Studies • Look through the sample materials p. 78 - 82 • Turn and talk to your neighbor about some of your favorite picture book and chapter book authors that would lend themselves to Author Studies.

  15. Reflection What are your “take aways?” Where will you go next in your own learning?

  16. Create a mind map • Create a map to demonstrate the key ideas that you felt were most important about each of these areas of workshop: • Using Assessment to inform your instruction • Mini-Lessons • Small Groups (Guided Reading and Strategy groups) • Conferencing • Literacy Stations • Book clubs • Sharing

  17. Set a personal goal • Thinking about all of the components we have “gone deeper” with this year…..what is the one area you want to focus on next? • How do you plan to work on that area?

  18. Evaluations, CPDU, and ….. • THANK YOU!! • Thank you for sharing your time with us this year. • Thank you for sharing your wonderful, innovative ideas with us this year. • Thank you for sharing your questions with us this year. • Thank you for sharing the learning with us this year!!
