Case analysis: Ms. Stewart's principal told her to try using the reading workshop approach in her class. She dutifully told the class members that during reading class they could pick out a book they would like to read and read it independently at their desks. On the very first day, problems developed. Karl couldn't find a book that interested him. Shari had read all the books in the classroom library and begged Ms. Stewart to let her go to the school library to find something, but Ms. Stewart didn't think she should let Shari out of the room during reading class. Mark didn't want to read at all, and so he just moved books around on the shelves, without really looking at them. Ms. Stewart decided that the students in her class were not mature enough for this approach. Do you think Ms. Stewart was right about her class? What caused Ms. Stewart's problem? What could she have done to avoid the problem?
