This Wikispace is for those teachers at Owens Elementary participating in the //Conferring with Readers// book study. We will be reading and discussing the various topics brought to light by Jennifer Serravallo and Gravity Goldberg in their interesting and thought provoking text. It will be our goal to gain a better understanding of the reading workshop, and our role as teachers within the workshop. We will focus on the purpose of reading workshop, and how we can structure our workshops to be the most productive. We will discuss placing students in "just-right books", and helping them progress from reading level to reading level. We will learn how to strengthen our conferences with students within our reading groups, as well as in individual conferences. Finally, we will find ways to hold students accountable for their reading, as well as ways to keep records of all of our interactions. This is the first part of a continued study we will partake in, during the 2009-2010 school year.
