EPISODE 15: Why You Should Consider Reading Workshop in Middle School

You may be wondering if a reading workshop model of instruction in middle school is right for you.  Maybe you are a first-year teacher, or even a veteran teacher, who has been told to teach with this model. You are in the right place! 

I am hopeful that through my experience, this podcast series will help guide and inspire you to either get started with a reading workshop model of teaching or to hone your skills further.

We will discuss:

  • Why a reading workshop model of instruction is beneficial
  • The way that I have restructured a typical reading workshop to be more skills-based and specific
  • What students can expect and how they will benefit from a reading workshop model of instruction
  • Why ultimately a reading workshop model of instruction is easier for you

Let’s connect!
