Readers Workshop - Launch with I Can Statements

Establish goals for your daily lessons in launching Readers Workshop through these eye-catching "I Can..." statement posters.

Additional smaller copies of the posters are included so students can place them into Reading Response journals to write reflection responses to your mini-lessons.

You will also find Teaching Tips for introducing some of the "I Can..." statements.

Statements include:
I can..be safe, respectful, and responsible while reading.
I can...choose a just right book.
I can...ask and answer questions about the book I'm reading.
I can...read long and strong.
I can...use context clues to help me understand the meaning of a passage.
I can...return books to the right spot in the classroom library.
I can...point to words in a text that answer a question.
I can...read the words smoothly.
I can...stay in one spot while reading.
I can...write about what I've read in my Reading Response Journal.
I can...talk to others about what I've read.
I can...listen to others as they talk about their books.

Each poster and card is set in a gray/green chevron and dots patterned background.
