Test Talk: Integrating Test Preparation into Reading Workshop
This book focuses on how teachers do not need to choose between best-practice teaching and test preparation. In Chapter 1, Beyond Hope and Honeybuns: Changing our approach to test preparation, discusses how a reading workshop provides a comfortable setting and environment for reflecting and giving students the ability to learn from their peers and teachers. Majority of this book provides test-taking instruction practical for students and illustrate how to improve test scores through reading workshops.

Cycles of Meaning
This book discusses different aspects of reading but in chapter 16 the book explains aspects of inquiry reading. Chapter 16, Collaborative Curriculum Inquiry: Learning Through Evaluation, explains how to incorporate reading cross curricular.  The book has different inquiry style questions and thinking to help teachers guide their students reading.  A large aspect of this chapter is to encourage students that reading should continue after school as well.

Once implemented, Reading Workshop can quickly become students' favorite part of the day.

Since the format gives students tools for selecting and comprehending literature, students who were once reluctant to read now find themselves with the skills needed to be successful readers. Over the course of the year, students read many books and are encouraged to do as good reader's do in exploring different genres, authors, and texts.

The program emphasizes the interaction between readers and text. Students learn to ask questions, make connections with prior knowledge and previously read texts, and ask questions to clarify faulty comprehension they recognize has occurred.

The program includes peer conferences and teacher conferences with students but emphasizes students' independence and allows them to become successful readers outside of the classroom.
What is the format of Reader's Workshop?
Reader's Workshop uses a similar format to Writer's Workshop. There are several consistent components but there is much variation on how it is implemented in different classrooms.

* Mini-lessons on some aspect of literature or a reading strategy.
* Independent Reading Time, where students keep a journal and respond to the literature in terms of what they think or how they feel about what they are reading.
* Sharing Time where students share with another person their journal entries and the other person gives feedback.

During Independent Reading Time, the teacher engages in student conferences on an individual or group basis. Teachers can also engage in guided reading with groups of students who need additional support.

"A typical reader's workshop time block might begin with a read-aloud in which the teacher, as an outstanding model of reading, shares different genres of children's literature for about ten minutes" (Temple, 2014).

"Guided reading supports readers in developing independent strategies with text. As informational texts are integrated into guided reading sequences, reading skills are taught along with content-seeking skills. This unifies the curriculum and supports learners in understanding that they can transfer their learning across all curricular areas" (Hoyt, 2002).
