Reading blocks in my classroom consist of a variety of activities, from individual reading time, Accelerated Reader, small reading group activities, and group work.
Each month we work together as a group on a Novel Study. We
spend time working on new vocabulary within each novel, and we delve into the themes of each story. Students participate in group read alouds, then work
individually or with partners on comprehension questions. Throughout the reading, students will be asked to Analyze characters and how they change over time. Journal
entries solidify the learning for each student.
