I'm now two weeks into my summer break, and I decided to do some
light summer reading.
Ha ha.
I've been working my way through these three page-turners. I know that my small group reading time is one of my weaknesses, so I decided to use this summer to do some research and get some inspiration for the upcoming year.
The two books with Guided Reading in the title are great, but I actually got the most practical information from Small Group Reading Instruction. It claims that it's NOT guided reading, but it shares a lot of the same teaching points. Small group reading includes more word study and phonics instruction, but otherwise they're a lot alike. I like the fact that the last third of the book is made up of reproducibles, forms, and sample lesson plans (along with scripts of some sample lessons).
{FYI-- I have also been speedily reading my way through the Hunger Games trilogy, so I'm not all work and no play this summer.}
Do you have any hints, tips, and tricks for successful small reading groups?
