Laura Candler's Power Reading Workshop: A Step-by-Step Guide

Laura Candler's Power Reading Workshop: A Step-by-Step Guide Short Description

Although teachers have been using the Reading Workshop approach successfully for years, until now there hasn't been a step-by-step guide for implementing the strategies in the upper elementary classroom. Laura Candler's Power Reading Workshop offers an easy classroom-tested method for using Reading Workshop in your own classroom. You'll learn how to motivate readers by providing time for independent reading and reading conferences. As a result, your students will learn to love reading, and you'll improve reading test scores at the same time! In addition, this book includes a dozen Power Tools that allow you to differentiate your reading instruction for all students. The strategies have been thoroughly tested in grades 2 through 6 and will work well at those levels with little modification. Middle School and High School teachers may also be able to use the strategies, but they may need to modify them slightly for their students or their teaching situation.
