Our kindergartners practice their reading skills every day in Independent Reading. We started out by looking at books for only three minutes, and have already doubled that to six minutes. In our class, students go to their assigned "Work Spaces", which are quiet places in the classroom, where nobody will distract them. "Work Spaces" change each week, so eventually every child gets to be in every "Work Space". Independent Reading is an important part of our Reader's Workshop. Following Independent Reading, our students write down one book they read in their Reading Logs, then they may go to their Literacy Centers.
