Reader's Workshop
During this time, students are reading independently and responding to text, meeting with teacher in a Guided Reading group, interacting with other students in a book club/discussion or partnerships, working on an integrated project, building their vocabulary/word study.
Stop and Jot Thinking Codes
Remember that good readers THINK while they read. “Stop and Jot” notes are a way to show your thinking while you read.
Choose from the following thinking codes for each “stop and jot” note. Use a sentence starter to help you demonstrate your thinking. “Stop and Jot” when you feel like you need to. However, if you are reading a chapter book, you should “stop and jot” at least 2 times by the end of the chapter. For a picture book, stop every 2-3 pages or so. You should at least 2-3 sticky notes for every 30 minutes of reading.
I will ask you each week for one of your sticky notes to be included in your Nightly Reading grade. Save the rest of your sticky notes in your book as you read and then when finished, add them to the page in your reading notebook.
