September Reading Workshop

September Reading
Building the World of the Story

In this unit, we will delve deeper into identifying the different elements of a narrative structure, such as character, setting, conflict, important events, resolution and change in order to guide their reading.    

Determining Importance 
  • Students will pay attention to story elements as they read
  • Students will be able to retell a narrative story using story elements
Monitoring for Meaning 
  • Students will self-select appropriate books from the classroom library 
  • Students will preview a book to make predictions about their reading
  • Students will accumulate the story across a book
  • Students will ask questions as they read
  • Students will choose appropriate stopping places in the text
In order to help your child at home:
  • Make sure they read at home every night for at least 40 minutes and respond in their reading notebook
  • Please provide a well lit, quiet space for your child to read without distraction
  • Ask your child to retell the story to you each night to determine their level of understanding
