Balanced Literacy
• 10 - 15 minutes Mini-lesson. Some mini-lessons
include: comprehension skills, word attack skills,
reading strategies, fluency, literary
styles/content of text
• 5 - 10 minutes Read-aloud (can be in
conjunction with mini-lesson). The purpose of the
read-aloud is to model appropriate reading
behaviors and reading strategies. It is also a time
to expose children to a variety of genres and
literary styles.
Balanced Literacy
• 30 – 45 minutes Independent Reading with
conferencing. Graded on a rubric. Each student
usually has their own text. This is the time when
students practice strategies modeled in the minilesson or practice reading. Students can read
alone, in pairs, or in small response groups.
Independent Reading is the heart of the Reading
Workshop.
• 5 minutes Sharing: The class discusses what they
learned such as which strategies they employed
for reading, or projects they worked on. This time
is also where students will examine their reading
logs. Share time is VERY IMPORTANT and should
not be skipped.
Assessments in Balanced
Literacy
• Teachers can do various assessments such as
running records, retellings, or keeping anecdotal
notes on children's progress.
• Some activities in Independent Reading include:
• Responding to text in reader's response
notebook.
• Participate in literature circles.
• Story chat with a group of students.
• Work with a reading partner.
• Do some silent reading
Weekly Assessment
Spelling
• Word Work, usually referred to as
spelling or phonics, is the time when
the teacher works with the whole
class on phonics skills and spelling
strategies.
• Spelling Inventory-every 8-9 weeks
to assess needs in spelling.
Spelling
Spelling Groups-students are grouped with
other students who need practice on a
particular spelling pattern. Students are
grouped based on a spelling need that was
evident on their spelling inventory test.
Students should use each other as a
resource during their group work time.
Spelling Work: students work in groups for
20-30 minutes each day to complete a
spelling activity or book hunt. Spelling
activities change quarterly.
