Data

Prior to the publication of any professional units for Reading Workshop, and prior to the Common Core State Standards, teachers from Muskegon Public Schools and Oakridge Public Schools, Tonia Ertzinger, Sally Kahlo, Okeelah McBride and Tammy Peterson collaborated to create units for the upper grades. These are the units we used when we began this series in 2009. While they are not fully aligned to the CCSS (since they were born earlier than the Common Core), many lessons came from the same Curricular Calendars that were used to create the now published professional units.

We are forever grateful to these stellar local educators who launched the upper grade teachers into this work with these first drafts.
