“In books I have traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might aspire to, and what I might dream about my world and myself.”

Shared Reading
“The style of teaching…might be called invitational---an enthusiastic invitation to participate, contribute, take over the operation.”
»Don Holdaway

Selecting Texts for Shared Reading
• Select a big book, poem or chant to use with your students:
• Select texts based on the quality of the writing
• Consider readability (it is not necessary to use leveled texts)
• Look at features like interesting language, rhyme, poetic language
• Analyze the text using the Text Analysis Form

Shifts in Thinking about Minilessons in K-2
• Read pages 353-354 in TCF. • Lay the Ground Work in Shared Reading and
Interactive Read Aloud for Simple Reading Minilessons
![Page 11: Becoming Joyful Readers: The Reading Workshop Jan. 29, 30, and 31st Kerry Crosby, Consultant kerrylcrosby@gmail.com](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e695503460f94b66c42/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reading Aloud: Creating Community
Minilessons are brief, highly focused
group lessons that help readers learn more
about any aspect of an effective processing
system. The goal of all reading workshop
minilessons is to help children become
independent readers for life, functioning as
literate people in today’s world.”

Reading Minilessons

Developing Minilessons in K-2
• Turn to the Kindergarten Interactive Read Aloud/Literature Discussion Continuum or the Guided Reading Continuum for your levels in The Continuum of Literacy Learning
Developing Minilessons in K-2• Narrow focus at end of Shared Reading into a clear and
focused minilesson statement (particularly helpful for thinking within text)
or• State principle in clear and simple language and show
examples from across shared texts.

Kindergarten Minilesson: Thinking within the text
Bullet from the Continuum: Match one spoken word with one printed word (voice-print match indicated by crisp pointing under each word).
1. Check Prompting Guide 1
2. Model aloud during Shared Reading.
“Look at how I point and read. I make it match.” “Watch how I point under each word. I make it match.”
3. Share minilesson principle on chart; demonstrate again if necessary:
Point under each word you read and make it match.
4. Give instructions for independent reading:
“Today in your reading make sure you point under each word and make it match. At the end of reading workshop, some of you will have the opportunity to show us how you made it match in your reading.”

First Grade Minilesson: Thinking beyond the text
Bullet from the Continuum: Make predications based on personal experiences and knowledge. (Level G continuum)
1. Check Prompting Guide II.
2. Share minilesson principle on chart
Think about what you already know to decide what is going to happen next in a story.
4. Demonstrate using different examples from a range of read alouds:
a. Show them how this works in one or two.
b. Show them a page from one shared text and have them try it with a partner—turn and talk.
5. Give them instructions for independent reading. “Today mark a spot where you used what you know to predict what was going to happen. Bring that to share.

Give it a Try!
1. Select a behavior and understanding from Thinking About the Text from the Guided Reading Continuum.
2. Decide how this would be better to demonstrate….through Shared Reading/Minilesson or through a Reading Minilesson referencing Shared Texts.
3. Check Prompting Guide 3 for helpful language.
4. Write a minilesson statement. Plan your minilesson using the minilesson planning sheet.

Reading Aloud: Creating Community
Umbrella Minilessons
An umbrella minilesson is a way to introduce a larger concept to students that can then be broken down into smaller pieces to study and learn how to use.
![Page 18: Becoming Joyful Readers: The Reading Workshop Jan. 29, 30, and 31st Kerry Crosby, Consultant kerrylcrosby@gmail.com](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e695503460f94b66c42/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Developing Umbrella Minilessons
• With your partner, look over the minilesson you just developed. Are there other connected minilessons that would broaden your students’ understanding of the concept?
• Look in the Continuum for related minilessons. If it is applicable create an umbrella minilesson statement and list the related minilessons you would teach.

“No single literacy activity has a more positive effect on students’ comprehension, vocabulary knowledge, spelling, writing ability, and overall academic achievement than free voluntary reading.”

“We want our students to make a lifetime commitment to reading and writing. And so we begin by painstakingly caring about the literacy landscape and then we proceed to do the best teaching imaginable.”
