Overview

Reading minilessons are short, concise, purposeful lessons with a practical application in a specific area of literacy. There are four types of minilessons: Management, Literary Analysis, Strategies & Skills, and Writing About Reading. Throughout this interactive series, Fountas and Pinnell-trained consultant Chrisie Moritz will explore each type of minilesson, how they connect to The Fountas & Pinnell Literacy Continuum, and how the minilessons use texts from interactive read-aloud as mentor texts.

During this series, participants will:

• consider the values and characteristics of reading minilessons
• become familiar with The Reading Minilessons Book
• develop an understanding of reading as a complex process
• develop an understanding of the systems of strategic actions that support effective thinking within, beyond, and about texts
• understand the structure of umbrellas and minilessons
• explore the different types of minilessons: Management, Literary Analysis, Strategies & Skills, and Writing About Reading
