Since the first week of school. We begin practicing  the Daily Five independent reading routine. We also practice how to pick pou the right book. Each student get a box with two books at their independent reading level, and get to choose three books of their choice.  Next year I will have english books in their boxes and in the classroom library.

The classroom routines and procedures I currently use in independent reading is during centers.  Each student has a book where they place their guided reading books and in the library I make sure that there are English and Spanish books available and in Raz kids.  For next year, I would like to organize better my library and teach student how to choose a book.

I plan on having more spanish books available to them this coming school year. Maybe even making them a chart to where they can check off books they have read to motivate them more.

During independent reading I have my PreK students choose a book of their choice and "pretend read" to me by looking at the pictures. I will choose a word and have them  sound out the sounds. I usually start by looking at the title and letting them tell me the name of each letter and the sound. we sound it out together by the middle or end of the year.

During independent reading, I have the students read from their assigned baggies. I like to use books from RAZ kids, because most of them are in both Spanish and English.

During independent reading, I have my students read from their designated book boxes. In their book boxes, they are able to choose from a variety of books according to their reading level. I love to printout books from the Reading A-Z program because they are able to read the books and identify/circle sight words that we have studied. Ana Camarillo

As soon as they come in the classroom they have independent reading in the morning before announcements. They have independent reading during literacy stations where they read books of various genres, spanish and english available for them in our classroom library. After the independent reading they respond to the reading with writing or record themselves on Class Dojo/Seesaw. At the end of the day we have DEAR time, where the students may do buddy reading or independent reading.

I check out books from our school library and place them in our class library. The majority of these books are in Spanish. While I am working with a small group, students are allowed to choose books and "read" with their classmates. When students "read" independently or with a peer, it involves talking about the pictures and sometimes making up a story to go with the pictures in the book. These are Pre-K 3 students.

It happens any time during the school day, but has it's own schedule during small groups. Each student has a box with the books at his/her independent level plus one, if the student is reading level D, in the bag- box are books levels D and some level E. They acces to iPads too, to access to Reading A to Z, tumblebooks, etc. The choose what to read or reread.

During Read2self, my students have their book boxes in which there are books that are leveled to their reading level.  I also have my personal books that are in English, books that I pick up from the library and books that I have in our classroom library that they are able to pick out and read (both in English and Spanish). The students also have access to IPads where they are able to log on to Captsone and Tumblebooks where they read books both in languages. During that time all students are working on reading strategies that have been taught the week before or ones that they still need to work on. For next year I would live to work more on connecting the writing response to either my small group work or shared reading/read aloud.

Independent reading happens  many times during the day. In the morning students have their quick warm up, when they finish they start to read their own book. Then, after we go over the warm up, the class and I get 20 minutes of independent reading. Students find their comfortable spot. Students then also read during book club. Students are grouped according to reading level. As a group they get to choose what book they want to read. Students also read whenever they finish an assignment.

Students have books in Spanish in class. I do need to add more books to my library. Students also get the opportunity to get Spanish from the library.

A routine I would like to implement would be for students to have more book conversations about books. I started it last year, but It did not happen as much as I would have liked it. I would also like to include Spanish books for the book club.

Independent reading happens when I'm working with small group. For independent reading I have color coded baskets with leveled books mostly in Spanish since I teach first grade, each basket has a list of student's name, so that, students know where to choose their books from. I also have separate baskets with only English books that they can choose but I encourage my students to read more Spanish books, especially my low readers. Students read independently by table. Example red table reads a book of choice from their basket, blue table reads independently on Istation, yellow table reads on Razkids independently while I read with the small group in turn. I have a poster with written expectations for students when reading independently. I also have a list of reading responses they can choose from for after reading the text.

Reading Workshop While I am working with some students in small group, I have students working on Centers. Where they can work independently. During this time students are able to read Spanish/English books.  I have a wide variety of leveled and trade books in both languages. Students are encouraged to select books in either language. What is one routine/procedure you would like to implanting next year?  I would like to implement the Cuenta me lo procedure as part of my center rotations. Using Seesaw for them to record their responses.Emma Perez

Reading Workshop
While I’m working with some students on their reading skills the rest of the class are reading independently.  The students have books from the school library.  Also, the students can use their IPad to read books from a reading program available from the district.  They have the flexibility to read in either language. To ensure students have access to Spanish and English reading books during independent reading the students can select Spanish stories to read from the adopted reading program or the level books in Spanish.  The lack of books at the library in Spanish sometimes impede the students to have access to Spanish literature. Next year I would like to make more time for interactive read aloud.

During independent reading students are expected to seat at their assigned spot with their book box which is filled with different types of literature. During read to self they need to pick one of the books they are reading and complete a reading response. That routine has been working great because throughout the year I change the reading responses to others more challenging and students are held accountable.

The  students have a book box where they have books that can read independently, they have aproximately 3 spanish and 3 english ones.  My library includes 2 bookshelves, one of them are completely in spanish and the other completely in english, my students have access to them on their centers time whenever they have library center and also free time.  They also have access to school library and after reading at a level 14 they can choose a book in english with not many words, as long as they advance in reading they can add another book.  I need to improve on my classroom library by adding activities, sentence stems, prompts to do whenever they are there. Lilia Ramirez

A classroom set up that include person space foe each student that belong to them only;example a book box foe each child independent reading. To ensure that the student have access to Spanish and English books I will increase the classroom library with enough books in both languages. I will like to incorporate more time for students to have . individualized daily reading where they engaged in self-selected  text at their independent level.

My studdents do centers-work stations during guided reading, but I think they need more time with the routines and expectations.
At school we need more books in Spanish for the kids between 4 to 7 years old, pre K to 2nd grade. I would like more sites on the internet for them to read,  without passwords . Kids need more access to books
A stretegy I need to improve is reading to a partner.

Classroom routines for independent reading.
Students do daily five activities during literacy stations.
They have library books in two languages, Spanish and English.
Students have access to their books bags; which are filled with their levels books.
Ipads with reading independent books that they can choose to read.
One routine that would like to implement for next year is to have students record themselves while reading. This will help the teacher gather data on fluency, accuracy, intonation and book choice.
Provide an ample variety of books for our bilingual students

What I observed in the lower grades classroom is that students have their book buckets with books they are already familiar with.  One routine that I would like to implement is to have students record themselves while reading. This will help the teacher gather data on fluency, accuracy, intonation, and book choice.   I do agree that we lack a variety of books in Spanish compare to English.  We definitely need to provide an ample variety of books for our bilingual students.

During independant reading time we first review what my job is and what their job is. My job is to meet with a small group while their job is to read quietly, independantly and they can choose one book at a time. Students will have access to their book bags which are filled with their level books in English and Spanish. These are books we have already read and they are working on. One routine that i would like to implement next year is having easy HFW books available to them.
