Finding Your LOVE for Reading!
Grades K– 8 at Las Américas ASPIRA Academy are excited to be implementing the Reading and Writing Workshop Model! The Teacher’s College Reading and Writing Project is a research and staff development organization housed at Columbia University.
Whole class read alouds, small group guided reading, and individual conferences will shape the reading and writing instruction for our students. As reading-competence develops, students will begin to work in book clubs leading cooperative group discussions…therefore increasing their reading independence. To close the year, students will spend more time considering large themes across multiple texts, comparing and contrasting characters and plots, and making connections within and across a variety of genres. It is my goal for the students to reach the high demands set by the Common Core State Standards; all while embracing choice and finding a love for reading!
