Reader's Workshop provides students with a supportive environment that involves them in high quality experiences that focus on the strengths and needs of each individual student. 

Reader's Workshop helps kids develop strong reading skills through the use of mini-lessons, interactive read alouds, shared reading, guided reading, independent reading, word study, and strategy groups.  Students learn how to choose books that are "just right" for them and study a variety of genre.

The basic principle behind the Reading Workshop is to allow students to spend an extended amount of time reading authentic texts at their reading level that interest them on a daily basis and to provide opportunities to talk about literature. The ultimate goal of a Reading Workshop is always to develop life-long passionate readers.
