Read Write Reflect Revise Routine – RWRR
Self-Regulation Reading Comprehension Routine
Read Write Reflect Revise Routine – RWRR Four times per week, students will:
Starting Position:
- Read silently at their independent level – start with 2 minutes – move to 5 minutes
- Write about their reading – offer a prompt such as: sum it up, make a connection, ask a question, make a prediction, write with detail about a character or place or problem, and/or critique the craft or structure of the text.
- Track the features they used to support their reading.
Actions:
- Discuss with assigned table mate(s) using Reading Exchange protocol – first person reads their writing out loud; both students think for 30 seconds; then second person reads their writing out loud; both students think for 30 seconds.
- Compare their responses using the Open Exchange protocol – talk about what they heard for 1 minute (what was the same; what was different); work toward 2 minutes, or more, of discussion.
Return to Starting Position
- Revise writing.
