If you're ready to bring Reader’s Workshop into your classroom but aren't sure where to begin, this episode is your launchpad. Following up on Episodes 1 and 2 where I covered the what and why, today’s episode is all about the how.

I’ll walk you through the first steps you can take to build an independent reading culture—starting with simple, actionable strategies you can try right away. From polling students on genre preferences to modeling reading behavior, we’ll talk about small shifts that lead to big results.
