Readers’ Notebooks

(notebooks or small binders)

Management mini-lesson

Key Concepts

• We have specific ways to find and select books in our classroom.

• We read independently and do not chat so we can do our best thinking while reading.

• READING IS THINKING – We do our best thinking when there are limited distractions.  If there is talking (conferencing) quiet voices/whispers will be used.

• Teach the mini-lesson (Part 1 and 2) and key concepts (FOUNTAS AND PINNELL, p.146).
• Allow students to choose a book from the classroom library or basket of library books
• Begin “Reading is Thinking” anchor chart with class (see Appendix #1)
• Allow time to read silently.  Teacher circulates the room to assist students and ensure best strategies and use of time
• After 5 minutes of successful independent reading check in with whole class about:
  • Conditions for best reading – environmental, music on/music off/ best places in school/lighting
  • How did we do?
  • Where book was found in classroom
  • Old friend/new friend (is what they are reading a familiar book or something new?)

• Continue independent reading for the rest of the period. Teacher circulates room to assist students. Length of time will depend on how long most students are successful
• As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), share good reads and successes
• Share at end of period to evaluate how the reading went/ who is reading something great, etc.

• Hand out Readers’ Notebooks and Magazine File to each student to be filled with personal work as the First 20 Days continues

magazine file

Read Aloud Suggestions:

Goldisocks and the Three Libearians

Peter’s Chair

Big Sarah’s Little Boots (Bourgeious)

Strategies and Skills mini-lesson

• Books can be easy, just-right or challenging for a reader.

• Research shows that just-right books are best to move readers forward.

• Readers have criteria to judge whether a book is just right for independent reading.

Resources:

Fountas and Pinnell (p.146)

• Create an “EASY, JUST-RIGHT and CHALLENGING” anchor chart. (See Appendix #2 for example).
• Each child chooses 2 pieces of JUST RIGHT reading materials from the library (graphic novels, fiction, non-fiction, magazines etc.) These go in a special independent reading magazine file to be kept in the student’s desk for independent reading time.
• Sign-out books. (Depending on student skill level, this could be done independently or with teacher assistance)
• Use remainder of period to read independently practicing skills from previous mini-lesson. Teacher circulate the room to assist students and ensure best strategies and use of time.

Suggestions for Think Alouds (Appendix #4)

How to do a Think Aloud (Appendix #5)

sticky notes

Strategies and Skills mini-lesson

• Readers are always thinking about what they understand and how they feel about what they understood.

• Readers are aware of their thinking (inner voice). This is an IMPORTANT metacognitive piece.

• Readers remember their thinking in order to share it with other readers.

Readers talk with each other about their thinking.

• Do a Think Aloud with a favorite picture book (see Appendix #4 for suggestions on books and how to do this) or class read aloud

Strategies you might mention (just use 3-5 per book):

Personal connection

Prediction

Visualization

Comment on author’s language/style

Make connections to character

• After the teacher has pre-read a book or chapter of novel, the teacher will have prepared any thoughts on actual paper shaped like thought bubbles and will have them filled out and inserted in the text prior to reading to the class. (See Appendix #3 for the thought bubble.)

• Add any new concepts the teacher has used in the Think Aloud of the favorite picture book to the Reading is Thinking chart from Day 1. Stick bubbles right on the Reading is Thinking chart
• Give students stickies (bubble-shaped if possible) to mark two places in their books where they might share something they were thinking about as they read
• Allow students time to read independently, while adding their personal stickies.  Teachers circulate the room to assist students and ensure best strategies and use of time
• As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), share student thinking. Add any more suggestions to your Reading is Thinking chart as a whole class
• Celebrate any successes

chart paper

markers

Management mini-lesson

• Readers choose books in many different ways.

• Students use several different kinds of information to help them choose books.

• Students think carefully about book choice.

·       Teacher and students create a classroom anchor chart “Ways We Choose Books” based on the methods they used on Day 2 and/or ways they might choose books in the future (see Appendix #6)

·       Put anchor chart on chart paper.  There will be little check boxes across from each method and then each child will be able to keep track of what methods he/she is using to choose books

·       Students choose 2 more JUST RIGHT texts becoming aware of their method for choosing books

·       Sign the materials out and keep in magazine file

·       Read for remainder of period in the library.  Teachers circulate the room to assist students and ensure best strategies and use of time

·       As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), share good reads and successes.  Refer back to anchor chart to see which methods were used

·       Challenge students to use a different method of choosing books next time they choose library books

Inner Voice Interactive (Appendix #7)

Readers’ Notebooks

copy of Thought Bubbles (Appendix #6)

or Sharing Your Thinking Part 2

Strategies and Skills mini-lesson

When readers read, they have an inner dialogue as they create meaning called their Inner Voice.

• Teacher models another Think Aloud with a favorite picture book or included essay focusing on how to use the inner voice to track meaning
• The teacher focuses on modelling strategies he/she is using.   For example, questioning, rereading, slowing down to capture understanding, refocusing, stopping and thinking about what they know, thinking about what would make sense, handling challenging concepts or vocabulary and asking for help.
• Give students a sheet with the 3 thought bubbles (Appendix #6) to fill out as they do their independent reading today.  Teachers circulate the room to assist students and ensure best strategies and use of time is practiced. Sheets go in the Readers’ Notebook
• As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), share student completed bubbles
• Celebrate successes

Markers

Article for shared reading

Management mini-lesson

• Students need the opportunity to talk about their reading.

• Following Turn-and-Talk guidelines allows groups to have effective discussions.

• Initiate discussion – “There is no better way to understand the information we read, hear or see than to talk to someone else. When we actively process information we almost always learn, remember and understand better.”
• Dynamic Duo Interactive – Ranking Turn-and-Talk Guidelines (Appendix #8)
• Round up another adult to model how you talk about a piece of text.
• Ask kids to notice what the two of you are doing.
• Read a piece of text silently (students read it also) and then model with your chosen adult. Demonstrate how you look each other in the eye, listen attentively, ask follow-up questions, disagree politely, share connections, and express reactions.
• Have the student report what they noticed about what you were doing.
• Suggest a kid-friendly topic and have them practice turn-and-talk
• Then have students regroup and have students discuss what the discussed and what they learned using the
• Follow up with self-assessment (Appendix #9)

Extra:

Movie – The Pagemaster (with McCauley Caulkin)

Skills and Strategies mini-lesson

• Fiction books fall into categories called genres.

·      Being aware of genre is important to our book selection process.

• Present a mini-lesson on the definition of Fiction Books.
• Present and define different types of Fictional Genres through game of Charades.  For example, Adventure, Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Realistic Fiction, Classics, Humor.  (See definitions in. Appendix #13.)
• Students select genre card and play game of Headbandz to guess their genre. Students then are sent to find a book in the library of that genre and to meet with other students of the same assigned genre to create a definition poster
• In the whole group discussion, ask selected students what books they are currently reading and what genre it is.  Have each selected student physically walk to the area where their book is shelved
• Make the point that books are shelved/organized alphabetically by the author’s last name-not by Genre.
• Review and discuss which genres are in fact fictional? Will new genres need to be created (i.e. survival literature)? Discuss books that cross borders.

Strategies and Skills Mini Lesson

·       Writing about reading allows students to explore meaning and deepen understanding

·       A good response includes a date, salutation, a paragraph responding to the teacher’s comments, a brief summary of what has been read so far, connection, evidence from the text, a sentence starter, (the number will increase as the year progresses) and evidence from the text, and conclusion.

• Teacher models a reading response letter to be shared with whole group. The letter should be based on the teacher’s own sticky note lesson from Day 12.  This can be done on chart paper, overhead, Google docs, to be used later as an anchor chart or photocopied as an example to be included in the student’s  Reading Response Journal
• See Appendix #22 for Sample Reading Response Letter
• Teacher has prepared the beginning of an anchor chart about Topics for your Reading Response Journal which includes topics from the Reading Response letter above
• As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), teacher and students create a chart of topics that can be used when writing in Reading Response Journals.   This chart is a work in progress.  Students, with teacher assistance, will add topics as they progress through their reading
• Create a checklist and success criteria for a response letter
• Students are given time for Independent Reading if time permits

Reading Response Journals (RRJ)

Weekly schedule for submitting RRJ

Sample response letter form

Management Mini-lesson

• Writing about reading allows students to explore meaning and deepen understanding.

• Students transfer and elaborate on their thoughts (from sticky notes) into their reading response letters.

Teacher Homework Night: Review class letters to choose examples of successful letters and to identify students who may possibly need a Guided session.

• Teacher reviews letter from previous mini-lesson
• Students’ letters will be written in their Reading Response Journals
• Response Journals are handed out
• Depending on student needs, sample letter is examined as a class, and/or used as student worksheet
• Teacher reviews schedule for handing in Response Journals and discusses procedure/expectations for missed days
• A weekly schedule for the handing in of Reading Response Journals is clearly posted in classroom.
• For the first letter writing experience, student will all be writing on the same day.  Please remember writing letters includes using assistive technology, a sample letter format, and/or scribing for IEP students.

** May use writing workshop time for initial reading responses for students you know need support in writing to help them build confidence with the format. You may have the format outlined on chart paper or in digital format that you can record on during the conference to guide the discussion.

• Please note letter writing will progress to the weekly schedule (Appendix #25)

Sample anchor chart on Proofreading Your Letter

(Appendix #26)

Reading Response Journals

Strategies and Skills Mini-Lesson

• Response letters need to make sense. Students must understand that proofreading is important when writing for an audience.
• Students must be sure to respond to teacher feedback.

• Together with students, teacher creates an anchor chart for how to proofread response letters to ensure they are the best they can be.
• Teacher may say, “I looked over your letters last night.  You are asking good questions, sharing what surprises you and writing about how your book reminds you of something in your life or of other books.  Today we are going to talk briefly about how you are going to proofread your letter to ensure it is your best work.  What do you think you need to check for. We will build upon the Learning Goals and Success Criteria we have already begun. We may find that we need to add or revise this list as our learning progresses this year.”

• See appendix #26 for sample anchor chart on Success Criteria for Proofreading Your Letter
• Teacher directs students to reread their letters aloud. (Whisper phones may be used)

• Teacher reminds students to be sure to respond to what their teacher has written in their Reading Response Journals
• Make sure there is a date, opening and closing

Independent Reading Folders

Management Mini-Lesson

• Keeping track of our reading interests allows us to be more efficient when choosing books.

• It also allows us to become aware of the importance of variety when choosing books.

• Fill in BLM ‘Books I Plan To Read’.  To be kept in students Independent Reading Folders

• Teacher introduces “My Reading Interests” (Appendix #27) and models how to fill in the sheet using personal thoughts.
• Students are given the opportunity to do a Library Walk to collect ideas and begin filling in their Reading Interest sheet.
• As a whole group (in whole group teaching area), students share what they have written on their sheets and may add other areas or ideas of interest based on the group discussion.
• Teacher introduces Books I Plan to Read (Appendix #28) table, and models how to correctly fill all columns in.
• The ‘Notes’ column might include: Who it was recommended by; Where you read or heard about it; Add to wish list;
• These are some websites that students might use to find reviews of books or for suggestions to help them find books of interest

Strategies and Skills Mini-Lesson

• Book talks are a key element to creating and sustaining student engagement in independent reading.
• Helps create a culture of reading and gives value to reading in the classroom.
• Book talks demonstrate student accountability

• Teacher shares the grade appropriate framework (see outline in Appendix and checklist in Appendix #29) with students prior to modelling an effective book talk/recommendation
• Post anchor charts of frameworks

Introduce the LIVING WALL (Appendix #30)
