3 Guidelines for Reading Workshop 1. Find a place where you can quietly read a book and remain focused. 2. Work silently so that you and your classmates can do your best thinking. 3. Use a soft voice when conferring with a teacher. 4. Select books that you think you ll enjoy and abandon books that aren t working for you, after you ve given them a chance. 5. List the title, author, genre code, and difficulty when you complete a book. 6. Always do your best work. 7. Be prepared to respond to your reading by having a response in mind during your reading time.
4 How to Give a Book Talk 1. Purpose: Get readers excited about a book, author, series, or genre. 2. Prepare: Make sure you ve read the book. Choose a book other readers will like. Think about what is interesting about your book. Think about the lead how you will capture the readers interest. Write page numbers and a few notes on a stickie. 3. Present: Show the book. Start with a good lead. Tell the author, title, genre. Explain why you chose to share the book. Tell a little about the book, but don t give away secrets. Mention other books by the same author or other books in the series. 4. Remember: Look at everyone. Speak clearly. Show your enthusiasm. Keep it short! Adapted from Reader s Notebook, by I.C.
