March is the Month for Text Sets

In first grade classrooms from New York City to Seattle, teachers are about to launch the March Unit of Study for Reading Workshop: Putting Texts Together: Reading Across Genres To Learn About a Topic and

Build Your Vocabulary.


And guess what, you can do the same at home!


Just collect up a whole bunch of books about a topic you and your little ones are interested in. Stick them in a box or a basket and have fun reading!


Baby L and I have been reading our winter books all season long. We've got stories, poems, board books, lift-the-flap books, nonfiction books, you name it. It's so much fun to watch Baby L make a connection from one book to another!

Winter is almost over (hopefully), so soon we'll be busting out a bunch of books about spring! Yippee!

  1. Oooh, you teach TC! Mommy used TC literacy units when she had a classroom, too. Do you know it never even occurred to her to use those ideas at home? She taught older kids though, so I guess she just didn't imagine me in the same frame of thought as her 5th graders...
