Reading Workshop

Reading workshop is a hard part of our third grade day. There are lots of routines to learn and skills to practice. We are all working very hard to become awesome readers and find those just right books that will get us there.

One of the first things we had to do to get us started was organize our classroom's library. We have hundreds and hundreds of books in the room and we needed to sort them so that students are able to find what they need quickly and easily. During the first week of school students spent a two or three days organizing the picture and chapter books based on what they had in common. Above is a picture of some of the picture book baskets we organized together. Some of the chapter book categories we came up with were: 

• Junie B. Jones
• Boxcar Children
• Goosebumps
• buddy reading books
• biography books
