This year one of my co-workers and I began Reader's Workshop and Writer's Workshop in our third grade classes. We are feeling a liitle overwhelmed. We are each presenting a 10 minute mini-lesson, allowing students to read for 40 minutes, and then have them make oral or written responses for about 10 minutes. During their 40 minutes read time we are calling students to conference with. Parents are used to traditional grades. How do you grade in Reader's Workshop? Help!
