This is a pilot project featuring the 2nd grade classroom that I service. As reading teachers, we sometimes find that we need to focus on phonics, grammar, or other reading skills to meet certain benchmarks or other criteria. When we get caught up in that, we forget to pass on the love we have for reading to our students. This opportunity will allow students to find that love for reading by reading for fun! Scholastic has released a graphic that states "Students who read 20 minutes a day can learn up to 1.8 MILLION words per year." Isn't that great?! This reading workshop will allow students to come into the school and just read. There are no grades or assignments attached to this reading workshop. Students will be provided with a book and we will sit and read together as a team!
