Have you have read my previous posts I have written about Reading Workshop on my Scholastic blog? Here are links to those posts. Hopefully you will find answers to any questions you may have about my reading workshop.
I would use the summer to first get your classroom library organized so that your students are able to use it effctively during independent reading time each day.

I am not able to share my units of study since I created them with other members of a reading committee for my school district. However, here is a link to a site where you can find great reading workshop units of study for all grade levels: http://curriculum.dpsk12.org/lang_literacy_cultural/literacy/elem_lit/curric_instruc_assess/planning_guides/index.shtml
I hope this helps!
