Revitalizing Small Group and Independent Reading Instruction
Feeling like guided reading isn’t increasing your student’s reading skills? Wondering if they are actually reading during independent reading time? This class will help you to use assessment data to balance both small group and individual needs. We will take a fresh look at the different types of small group possibilities; guided reading groups, strategy groups, one on one conferences, novel studies and reading partnerships. This will help you to determine when and how to teach each type. You will be more confident when your students are actively reading during independent reading and using the skills you taught them with the strategies examined in No More Reading Without Support.
This course is perfect whether you are teaching a workshop model or a core reading program since each type has a small group and independent reading component.
Students will:
•Analyze student data to inform instruction and individual reading needs
•Understand different types of small group structures: guided reading, strategy groups, one on one conferences
•Evaluate independent reading time for it’s effectiveness and determine best instructional practices
•Develop a plan for productive reading partnerships and book clubs
•Implement engagement strategies to answer the question, are my kids really reading?
•Create a schedule and organizational tools to fit it all in
You will receive a copy of No More Reading Without Support (Miller and Moss) and Teaching Reading in Small Groups: Differentiated Instruction for Building Strategic, Independent Readers (Serravallo).
