We typically read only 1 or 2 books per week, because we read each text multiple times (first time for comprehension and enjoyment, and additional times for teaching points like “Point once under each word.”).
Shared Reading (10-15 minutes): This is when I read aloud (and have students help me read) a big book or one of the projectable books from Reading A to Z. Students sit on the rug so that they can see the print.
If you don’t have time for two readalouds in a day, you might focus on comprehension Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and read just for enjoyment on Tuesday and Thursday. I’ve found that kids can better focus on practicing comprehension strategies when they’ve already listened to the book previously. Then, you dive into that same book more deeply on Tuesday during your literacy block. For example, you could read aloud a book for enjoyment on Monday after lunch. You don’t necessarily need 2 brand new books for each day, however. Then, you could do a readaloud for enjoyment after lunch or recess. You might choose to focus on comprehension and vocabulary during your literacy block readaloud. Readaloud & Vocabulary (10-15 minutes): If I can swing it, I actually do a readaloud twice a day: one time, we read a book for pure enjoyment, and another time, we read a book to focus on comprehension strategies and vocabulary. Now for a little more detail on what I teach during each component, and how long I spend on each part of the literacy block: Writing Workshop Minilesson (may include modeled/shared writing and interactive writing).Guided Reading / Small Group Literacy Work with Phonics / Literacy Centers.Shared Reading (using a big book or projecting a text so students can clearly see the words) + reading workshop minilesson (can be combined).There are many different ways you can structure a Kindergarten literacy block, but you may want to include the following components: Keep reading to see the components of my Kindergarten literacy block, how long we spent on each component, and some sample schedules for full-day and half-day Kindergarten.Ĭomponents of a Kindergarten Literacy Block

Whether you teach full day or half day Kindergarten, creating a literacy block schedule can be tricky. There was SO much I wanted to fit in – and that was especially true when I co-taught in a half-day Kindergarten classroom!
