Angela-
I just stumbled upon your blog and am thrilled! I have a question for you. I am beginning a Reader's Workshop modeled after Daily Five and Cafe. However, I am not a classroom teacher. I have a small group of 9 at-risk second graders. They are reading "just-right" books, some guided reading texts, some trade books. Then they respond in writing through graphic organizers. Then, they read some more, write some more, etc. I go around and have conferences while they are reading and writing. Do you know of other intervention teachers that use this sort of approach? I also pull them for specific guided reading needs but I only have 50 minutes with them, so time is tight.
