This FIRST reading workshop mini lesson unit includes 12 lesson plans for reading workshop & teaches Author's Purpose!

Each Reading Workshop Mini Lesson...

⭐ Includes an engaging mentor text (many even recommended by the CCSS) that I have found especially meaningful for students.

⭐Is detailed, yet succinct enough to fit on one page - ready for you to print on card stock & hold easily in your hand while teaching!! Or slide each page into page protectors in a binder! (Hint...with all the units, there are enough lessons for the WHOLE YEAR!)

⭐Includes CCSS, learning goals, an essential question, a recommended mentor text, A SCRIPT for teaching &extension options.

  • Perfect for lessons when teachers are being observed - every aspect of the reading workshop mini lesson is included for you & a copy can be handed right to your administrator!

  • Great for teachers without a given reading curriculum, those who are expected to teach to the CCSS and those who are not. They are standards aligned yes - but truly they are lessons that build REAL readers who LOVE reading.

  • Perfect for homeschool families!

  • Even great for teachers who do have a given core curriculum - these lessons can easily be slipped in to best meet your student needs & create the kind of reading workshop environment that encourages students to love reading
