Abstract
Follow one teacher as she implements a Reader’s Workshop in her first-grade classroom. Through a Reader’s Workshop, students have choice in what they read and what they write, engaging and motivating them to continue to read and write in and out of the classroom. Students will learn the necessary skills they need to read, understand and analyze text in a variety of settings. A Reader’s Workshop will also provide the first-grade classroom a safe, risk-free environment to create a community of readers and learners that supports the growth of all students.
