March Kindergarten Reader’s Workshop
Reading and Thinking in Levels D-G
Our goal in this reading unit
is to determine importance and retell independently.  The skills we will be teaching include the
following:
·    Naming the main character’s problem by stating:
“__________ wants/doesn’t want _____________” or “____________ is upset about
_____________.”
·    Name how the character feels about the problem.
·    Track ways the main character solves the problem (asks
for help, looks for something).
·    Naming the solutions by stating what happened at the
end and how the character feels at the end.  Tell why they feel that way.
