I would recommend looking up Donalyn Miller. We use all of her forms in our Reader's Notebook! Check out my post about setting up our notebooks.<br /><br />I may be biased (towards all the research conducted over how many years...) but we don't do homework. I expect the kids to read each night, but there is no punishment or reward. I think it's silly to have parents sign sheets saying their kids read. I think it's even worse to set timers for kids. That doesn't promote a love of reading. You have to work to build the community and then kids want to read at home. <br /><br />I hope that helps!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152980328549851975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254768319865741190.post-63671987317330114962015-11-02T17:50:05.807-08:002015-11-02T17:50:05.807-08:00Hi Stacey,

Right now I'm trying to figure out the reading log battle. I'm wondering if you use a in class reading log, or if you have students complete a reading log at home? I see the importance of being able to study reading trends, but I also feel like the students who are going to read are going to read and those who won't still don't. I'd love input on what you are finding works well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254768319865741190.post-34258515067778170402015-07-30T05:00:02.757-07:002015-07-30T05:00:02.757-07:00Yin the past have taught pretty traditionally, dab...Yin the past have taught pretty traditionally, dabbling in readers workshop. I will admit that I have skipped independent read for other "more important" things. yikes! The changes I made last year I saw true improvement with kids becoming readers verses just doing reading activities. Plan to make even more changes this year....this shift is hard...structure, assessment, etc. I appreciate your posts...they are the encouragement I need to push forward. Excited you will be 4th this year...same as me. hclementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870360352456904009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254768319865741190.post-78617609744316176112015-07-20T21:04:35.884-07:002015-07-20T21:04:35.884-07:00This is a fantastic blog.

I am excited to begin using your ideas and TPT resources as they will help me tweak and amp up what it is I already do! :) Read Alouds are my favorite part of workshop. I enjoy modeling my own love of reading and the thinking process to my students in hopes that it will inspire them to develop a life long love for reading.

Reading your blog posts has become an important part of my professional development. I read The Reading Zone and will soon start In the Middle (Nancie Atwell) because you inspired me.

Because of you I read Reading into the Wild and learned so much. I love how passionate you are about independent reading because I feel the same way! I have been using your resources and blog posts to help me prepare for the school year. Thank you!

My students read for somewhere between 20-30 minutes a day in my class. They don't fill out complicated logs or monitor their time. They just read. I meet with them about every two weeks (I can't seem to have short conversations about books!) They love the meetings, we work on goals together, and they're off and running again. Donalynn Miller had a huge impact on me, as did some parts of the CAFE workshop information from the Two Sisters. I think you're on the right track! And you've just gained a new follower :)<br />MarionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254768319865741190.post-84642624966694010522015-07-15T09:07:38.484-07:002015-07-15T09:07:38.484-07:00I would love to integrate your new product into my...I would love to integrate your new product into my RWW! primarypractice@gmail.com (meant to add this to my comment)primary practicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431154430429090558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254768319865741190.post-71820674657490603152015-07-15T09:05:02.346-07:002015-07-15T09:05:02.346-07:00Just finished our first year with Lucy Calkins RWW...Just finished our first year with Lucy Calkins RWW.
