Readers Notebook

Are you wondering the best strategy for introducing readers notebooks to your students? In this video, I share with you exactly how to introduce reader’s notebooks with your primary aged students!

Last week I had a teacher observing me during my reading workshop block. She observed as I taught the reading mini-lesson, met with a guided reading group, and watched as my students were reading independently and writing in their reading notebooks. When I met with her to debrief later during my plan period, she said she was so impressed with the writing that my students were doing, independent of the teacher. She asked me about how I got to the point where my second graders are fluently writing about what they are reading as part of their independent reading time. As I met with this teacher and explained the steps that I took to get to this point, I thought it would be helpful to also explain this to my readers as well!

As teachers, we know how important the reading and writing connection is. When we ask students to write about what they are reading, we can clearly see their level of comprehension. In my own classroom, I have used successfully used reader’s notebooks with my own second and third graders, as a way for them to express their thinking about what they are reading. I created this short video to show you how I introduce reader’s notebooks to my students. Check out the video by clicking below!
