Here is your chance to wax on about yourself, your wonderful class, and more. What makes you tick?: I'm a huge dork, and my students know it. I try to get them to understand that enjoying learning and liking "weird" things isn't a bad thing. That being called a dork, geek, or nerd is only an insult if you take it that way. The highest compliment in my classroom - "You're such a dork!"

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.
