Balanced Literacy• 10 - 15 minutes Mini-lesson. Some mini-
lessons include: comprehension skills, word attack skills, reading strategies, fluency, literary styles/content of text
• 5 - 10 minutes Read-aloud (can be in conjunction with mini-lesson). The purpose of the read-aloud is to model appropriate reading behaviors and reading strategies. It is also a time to expose children to a variety of genres and literary styles.
Balanced Literacy
• 30 – 45 minutes Independent Reading with conferencing. Graded on a rubric. Each student usually has their own text. This is the time when students practice strategies modeled in the mini-lesson or practice reading. Students can read alone, in pairs, or in small response groups. Independent Reading is the heart of the Reading Workshop.
• 5 minutes Sharing: The class discusses what they learned such as which strategies they employed for reading, or projects they worked on. This time is also where students will examine their reading logs. Share time is VERY IMPORTANT and should not be skipped.
Assessments in Balanced Literacy
• Teachers can do various assessments such as running records, retellings, or keeping anecdotal notes on children's progress.
• Some activities in Independent Reading include:
• Responding to text in reader's response notebook.
• Participate in literature circles.• Story chat with a group of students. • Work with a reading partner. • Do some silent reading
Weekly Assessment
Spelling
• Word Work, usually referred to as spelling or phonics, is the time when the teacher works with the whole class on phonics skills and spelling strategies.
• Spelling Inventory-every 8-9 weeks to assess needs in spelling.
SpellingSpelling Groups-students are grouped with
other students who need practice on a particular spelling pattern. Students are grouped based on a spelling need that was evident on their spelling inventory test. Students should use each other as a resource during their group work time.
Spelling Work: students work in groups for 20-30 minutes each day to complete a spelling activity or book hunt. Spelling activities change quarterly.
