Partner Reading - Sharing the Learning

The best part about partner reading is sharing the learning. After 15 minutes of reading their books independently, students will have the opportunity to share the books with their partner for the next 15 minutes. They may use Post-It notes to highlight parts of their books that they want to share with their partner. It could be anything from an interesting fact to an unknown word. During this time, we pull small groups for guided reading. Our focus this year in Reader's Workshop is to build strong partner readers that like to share the learning and become comfortable talking about books.
