Reading Workshop Summer '07
 |
Several teachers from CK Burns School came together for a couple of days this summer to work on developing a framework for reading instruction throughout the year. The group used the work of Frank Serafini to guide their decision making. This study group continues to meet once a month to share ideas for reading instruction for students in their grade levels.
