Reading Goals

Basis for Reading Goals

• The realization that reading is not in isolation but in fact connected to all the

content areas.

• The truth that distinguished reading goes beyond being able to read fluently

and comprehend a text on the “surface level.”

Reading Goals for Students

• To successfully engage with a variety of complex texts.
• To critically read and respond to complex texts.
• To closely read complex texts in order to obtain more meaning.

Reading Instruction Components

• 1. Readers’ Workshop
• 2. Partner Reading and Content Too (PRC2)
• 3. Close Reading

Readers’ Workshop

• Students will actively engage with texts across different genres.
• The genres that students interact with will be closely related to

the genres addressed in writing.

• During Readers’ Workshop, students will…
• 1. Learn how to become successful independent readers.
• 2. Be given ample time to read.
• 3. Receive differentiated instruction.
