There’s Room for Me Here: Literacy Workshops in Middle Schools
Janet Allen & Kyle Gonzalez
What do you do with pupils who cannot or will not read and write?
This resource contains strategies for helping pupils become motivated, successful readers and writers. Based on a case study of how one teacher set up a literacy classroom, providing intervention and support for struggling or reluctant pupils, and assessing their progress, it also looks honestly at why some practices were ineffective.
With practical, detailed suggestions for creating a literate classroom - how to:
- establish a literacy workshop;
- choose and use effective resources;
- implement effective, informative record-keeping;
- help pupils establish goals and assess progress;
- use reading aloud as well as guided and independent reading and writing;
- instil reading and writing practices that help pupils read subject-specific texts.
This practical volume includes record forms, bibliographies, resource information and lesson plans, all embedded within the story of one teacher's first three years building a literacy workshop in her classroom.
