I have so enjoyed reading and rereading your posts in order to implement reading workshop in my classroom. It has been a challenging and fun process! My question is if you have your students read the same books at home that they are reading during IDR time. At this point I do, but I am finding that when books are left at home it really disrupts the reading that occurs at school. I prefer for them to be reading one book at a time but am open to suggestions to make it easy for the students (and me!). Thanks for all of your work and effort to share what you are doing in your classroom!
