Readers Workshop Unit 7 - Building Foundations Aligned to the Common Core
199 votes | Feedback
SELLER
Time to build some good readers! Kim has teamed up once again with her partner Michele Scannell to write the seventh unit in their Reading Workshop Series. This unit of study is actually comprised of two mini-units. The first mini-unit focuses on teaching your young students a variety of reading strategies that will help them solve unknown words. You will teach your students that they have a strategy toolbox and that each strategy is like a different tool.
The second mini-unit we have included is one on learning more about authors. There are lessons on author’s craft and two lessons on getting to know the authors who write our favorite books. These lessons are always a favorite with students. They get so excited looking through their books for examples of craft.
This unit contains an overview of the month, a monthly spreadsheet, a weekly overview and prep sheet for each of the 4 weeks, 20 mini lessons written in ready to use lesson plan form, 4 anchor charts with all the pieces made and ready to reproduce, reading strategy bookmark, 8 sets of text for active engagement, a stretching out word game, a look through the word game, a tool mystery question game, an author’s craft tree map, a speech bubble role play activity, a sample book jacket, a student book jacket and a super cute craftivity to use for the end of unit celebration.
The unit is broken down into four weeks:
*Week one- Introducing the strategy toolbox & specific reading strategies
*Week two- Specific reading strategies and strategies to “fix up” reading
*Week three- Introducing author’s craft and specific types of craft
*Week four- Continuing to teach author’s craft & author study

Because our sequencing guide is fiction first then non ficiton, I switched this unit with the nonfiction unit! The kids loved making the tool box and they are using the strategies!

We don't have 7 or 8 yet. I think our curriculum director has bought them in groups of 3. The last one we have is 6 (we started later in the year so won't get much past 6 this year) I will check tomorrow if she has purchased 6 and 7, but she is probable waiting for the last 3 to be completed

Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
email me at kim@adsit.net and I will send you the book lists for those two units.

Our district purchased a site license for RW and we love it! I asked to have some of the books you recommend purchased and they said YES! (this is Big in my district LOL) We only have up to unit 6, so I am wondering if there are any books in the upcoming units that you recommend using? I want to get as many as I can while they are willing to buy!!! Thanks so much

Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
There is a book list in Unit 7 and 8. Do you have those units?

Kim- I heard you had another great DI conference in New Orleans and enjoy the way we say "parish"!! Before I purchase them separately, are you and Michelle going to bundle the last 3 units (7-9). And, is Unit 9 the last unit??
Thanks!
Thanks!
April 15, 2013
Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
Unit 9 will be the last unit. We will bundle them. Not sure when it will be ready. New Orleans was a blast! Love the accent!

Thanks for the quick answer! Do you know of anyone who is writing units similar to this for 2/3?

I am fairly certain I will be teaching second grade next year, but I love this product! Before I purchase it, can you tell me what about it is not really right for second grade? Since it is only listed as for K-1? Thanks!
April 14, 2013
Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
Hmmm. I haven't ever taught second grade! These units are written to match k-1 common core standards. Not sure how they would work in second.

When will unit 8 be available?
April 3, 2013
Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
We are really trying to have it done, I promise...We have finished the first two weeks and part of the second two weeks. Michele is trying to get the scripting done. That is all we need to do to finish.

Will you be doing a unit on Poetry in your Readers Worshop series?
March 16, 2013
Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
Hmmmmm! Not sure. We haven't decided on unit 9, but not sure if it will have poetry or not.

Would this be the best one to purchase for teaching strategies. I am stuck with a group that is only a level 4 and don't seem to apply strategies. Do you have a group like this? My class ranges from level 4 to level 28.
February 24, 2013
Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
Yes two weeks are on strategies in this unit. Two weeks on authors craft.

Hi Kim-
Pg 63 appears to have a typo- one of the text boxes only has a part of the word showing. No rush- I won't be printing mine for about 2 weeks, but just wanted to make you aware! Thanks! :)

Hmmmm, let me go check on that. Sometimes it prints right for me and then when I publish it, the alignment gets messed up!

Kim, I have bought a couple of your units and am keeping each one in a separate binder. I place the cover page in the front of the binder and would love a coordinating spine label. Any chance you could make one for each unit?
