The Reading Workshop

Creating Spaces for Instruction, Dialogue & Interpretation

Welcome to the Reading Workshop NING!

Fellow Educators,
I have created this NING to provide elementary and middle school teachers with a forum for discussing issues in literacy education.

Please feel free to invite like-minded educators to join us. Each member is invited to contribute to the posted discussions and other various entries or to start discussions of their own.

The goal of this network is to support one another in our efforts to create effective instructional practices and spaces for for readers to interrogate, analyze and interpret texts and visual images. This is an interactive site, so interact!

I work with 9th graders as a reading intervention teacher. Some are LD, ELL, or IEP students, but I have a handful that are not any of those categories. They come to me hating reading. Maybe they had a bad 3rd grade experience like Suzette's daughte…
