Taking Responsibility for Book Choices

Today's mini lesson was about choosing books that we can read fluently and understand well. After watching a demonstration of choosing a good-fit book, students reevaluated their current independent reading book to ensure that they could read it fluently and understand it well. If not, some time was spent "book shopping."  Once everyone had made their book choices, we read intensely finding the flow of our books and getting in "the reading zone."
