"To make the most of our 30 minutes a day, I decided to design a program that incorporated Allington's four approaches within a readers' workshop model.  We would not only teach comprehension strategies, but also give students plenty of time to read and fall in love with books at just right levels. I hoped that as students became avid, engaged readers, their reading fluency would naturally increase."
