EPISODE 25 During my first few years of teaching, I was handed a basal reading program. I was told this was the way to teach reading. Well, it didn’t take me too long to realize that it was extremely repetitive and NOT engaging for me or my students. I found myself constantly trying to supplement with other resources. I finally came across the reading workshop model and never looked back. Today I’m filling you in on why I love this model so much!   In this episode I share: -What reading workshop is and why it’s so effective -Details on each part of reading workshop -How to be intentional about providing closure to your lesson -Why teachers sometimes over-teach during mini-lessons   Resources mentioned: -Come join us in my NEW Facebook group, Upper Elementary Reading Teachers -Download the Stellar Teacher Summer Series Calendar -Head to stellarteacher.com/waitlist to get on the waitlist for the Stellar Teacher Membership!   For full show notes and more resources, head to stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode25.    Connect with me: Join my newsletter My TPT store stellarteachercompany.com Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company
