A huge hallmark of reading workshop is having kids working in book clubs, AKA literature circles.  In this episode, we will talk about how to get kids working when they meet in groups.  

We will discuss: 

  • What are Book Clubs?
  • How to Set Up your Book Clubs
  • Creating a Reading Plan
  • Discussion Questions for Book Clubs
  • Holding Kids Accountable in Book Clubs

I am hopeful that through my experience, this podcast series will help guide and inspire you to either get started with a reading workshop model of teaching or to hone your skills further.

What are the basic components of a reading workshop model?  We will discuss this in today's episode.  Reading workshop in middle school is the way to go if you tweak it and make it more skills-based and purposeful.  Although setting up your reading workshop can be a lot of work up front, once it is done, you will be all set with instruction that will be successful and enjoyable for both you and your students.

  In this episode, we will discuss:

  • Setting Expectations
  • The Mini Lesson
  • Workshop Time
  • Conferencing
  • Sharing

I am hopeful that through my experience, this podcast series will help guide and inspire you to either get started with a reading workshop model of teaching or to hone your skills further.

Having effective reading mini-lessons is a crucial component of reading workshop. Putting a reading workshop model of instruction into your middle school language arts class is a lot of work.  However, once the main work of planning your units is done upfront, your reading instruction will be both beneficial and enjoyable for your students (and you).

  In this episode, we will discuss:

  • What are Mini-Lessons?
  • Components of the Mini-Lesson
  • Teaching the Mini-Lesson
  • Anchor Charts

I am hopeful that through my experience, this podcast series will help guide and inspire you to get either started with a reading workshop model of teaching or to hone your skills further.

You may be wondering if a reading workshop model of instruction in middle school is right for you.  Maybe you are a first-year teacher, or even are a veteran teacher, who has been told to teach with this model. You are in the right place! 

I am hopeful that through my experience, this podcast series will help guide and inspire you to either get started with a reading workshop model of teaching or to hone your skills further.

In this episode, we will discuss:

  • Why a reading workshop model of instruction is beneficial
  • The way that I have restructured a typical reading workshop to be more skills-based and specific
  • What students can expect and how they will benefit from a reading workshop model of instruction 
  • Why ultimately a reading workshop model of instruction is easier for you

Get your lesson plans for language arts together for the year!  You can plan out all of your units…I know, it sounds absolutely crazy and overwhelming.  But I promise, if you carve out some time now, the future you is not only going to thank you, but future you will be madly, madly in love with present you.  If you’ve been listening to me, you know that I really try to take a huge, monumental topic and outline it into simple steps, so please, take a listen.  I promise you it will help.  

We will discuss:

  • Your reading and writing units
  • Deciding how units are administered
  • Any other areas that you teach consistently and separately from reading and writing units
  • Assigning a rough timeline for each unit
  • Keeping a living document on what the lessons and assessments will be

  • Keeping your units streamlined
  • How you will do your  instruction 
  • Skills that kids will need for the year

I'll be sharing what I do for my first unit (spoiler alert:  it's a reading unit using a whole-class novel!) and how it fits into the above criteria.

In this episode, we will discuss three main topics:

  • WHY are we feeling so overwhelmed?  It’s not that straightforward.
  • A simple plan to tackle your never-ending to-do list
  • Ways to provide students with meaningful end-of-the-year activities.  

I’m not promising it will be easy, but if you start with a better understanding of what the end of the year entails for you and your students emotionally and mentally, then you might have the motivation to serve them, and yourself, in a way that enables you to not just survive, but thrive, during the end of the year.
