Reading Apprenticeship and RATs: Personal Reading History

This guide is to support RTC's RATs (Reading Apprenticeship Teachers and supporters) in improving student reading comprehension in content-areas with the use of WestEd's Reading Apprenticeship framework. RTC-RATs.org is now being redirected to this site.

Personal Reading History - Definition and Use

Help students create a Personal Reading History by thinking about and depicting key events in their development as a reader. When students can reflect on and analyze their past reading experiences, it is easier to develop better reading skills in the future.

Note that a reading survey (your reading preferences) and a reading history (your personal history about your literacy development) are two different things. RTC students can complete an online reading survey from computers in the RTC Library and computer labs.
