So What Is Reading Apprenticeship?

The phrase Reading Apprenticeship has been a bit 'foggy' for me for quite some time so I have been on a quest to 'de-nebulize' the idea for myself and perhaps help a few others along the way to make sense of it all.

One of the major principles behind RA is that the teacher is an expert in the content and discourse of their subject matter.  The students in their classroom are therefore the apprentices under the care of the expert teacher.

So what does that look like?  I have begun a list of thoughts about what RA entails.  In order to keep the list going throughout our time, I have placed it on the next tab - just click here or on the tab called Reading Apprenticeship.
