RUOS Unit Summaries

 

Instruction in the Units of Study for Teaching Reading, K–5 is organized around four grade-specific units of study at each level and a book of suggestions for adapting your teaching based on your students’ abilities and needs. In grades K–2, units include one foundational unit and three other units to address reading fiction and informational texts. In grades 3–5, units include two units in reading fiction and two in reading informational texts. Each unit includes approximately 18-20 sessions, each representing a day in the reading workshop. Each session contains a minileson, suggestions for the conferences and small-group work you are apt to do that day, and a possible mid-workshop teaching and share session for that day. Each day’s teaching builds onto the teaching from the day before, and each day’s teaching is capsulized in an illustrated over-sized sticky note or two that you can combine to create those anchor charts.
