Wonder Wednesday #239 (Purpose for Reading)

Wonder Wednesday - Personal Reasons for Reading

*During our reading workshop this week, I looked out among the readers in my class and had a complete feeling of contentment and satisfaction.

*We are about sixteen or so days into the new school year and our reading routines and rituals are falling into place.

*What I noticed about the readers this week was how everyone seemed to be reading for very personal reasons.



*We have had mini lessons on why readers read, when readers read, how readers read, what readers read, and where readers read.  What I saw around the classroom answered all of these questions.

*Here are some images of the readers and a bit of information about the choices they were making during their independent reading time...

Not only friends, but reading buddies.
