Many teacher’s want to know what my students are doing when I am working with a small group of readers. That is a great question and the answer is independent reading! Not a very exciting answer, but an exciting time for engaged, rockin’ readers!

If you are already implementing reading workshop in your primary classroom, and are looking meaningful literacy writing activities, then this is the file for you! No centers in sight!

Included in this resource:

– 13 scripted mini-lessons
– Colorful posters to display as anchor charts
– Student reproducibles for every mini-lesson
