Conferencing is the "heart" of your reading block and writer's workshop time. As we conference with students, we want to find what the students are doing well along with determining if their goals meet their needs. As you watch Jennifer Serravallo, look for these things.
- how she allows the student time to talk about the book
- how she gives a compliment to the student about something they are doing well
- how she teaches with examples and has the student practice with her
- how she links the teaching point to the future
