Anyway... back to my point. The Summer Camp is designed for students who are considered below level in reading, and some teachers will be working with students from schools other than their own. Because time spent in text is directly related to reading achievement, we want our kiddos spending as much time as possible in purposeful independent reading this summer. We discussed establishing ground rules and expectations for this time and so of course, I got to thinking about establishing Independent Reading routines for next year.
I've worked with some great teachers who have become dear friends over the past few years, and together we built some outlines for Launching Shared Reading and also Independent Reading. Check them out (see below) and send me your thoughts. What has worked for you? What are some of your go-to resources? Challenges? Successes?
