We use the Reading and Writing Workshop model for instruction in ELA. The goal of this teaching method is to explicitly teach students strategies to become more skillful at comprehending text and communicating in written form. It involves students in authentic experiences of reading and writing that focus on the strengths and needs of each individual student through differentiated instruction.
