What is the reading workshop?

Often referred to as reader's workshop, the reading workshop model is a method of teaching reading whereby students often read self-selected texts. The ultimate goal is to give students the skills needed to become independent, lifelong readers.

There are many "gurus" out there who have their own slants on the reading workshop. Perhaps the most famous proponent is Lucy Calkins of the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project.

The Open Source Reading site does not follow the teachings of a specific guru. Rather, we hope to present a wide array of materials that might be used by anyone who is putting self-selected texts at the forefront of their reading program.
