Independent Reading Stations

 This year I have decided I want to work on my independent reading stations. I have looked at the quality of work and challenging task I have gave in the past to keep them engaged. I have noticed some children have a more difficult time focusing and getting work done. I want to make student's stamina stronger to be able to stay focused and engaged the whole 20 minute stations. The data I gather was observational and anecdotal data through the years. I see this as a focus because students need to learn the routines better to eliminate wondering, focus, and quality of work. My hope is this topic will enhance the support and student learning by building stamina and giving them more challenging task to then help their word work and reading scores at the end of the year. I will be using the Jim Knight book, Jen Burns, and other staff members to help me this year.
