8:40 - 10:00 Reader’s Workshop
During this time, I will work with guided reading groups. Guided
reading groups are groups of students that have been formed
based on their reading level as indicated by the DRA testing.
These students will either all fall
within the same level or require similar
skills and strategies to be taught. During this time, the
other students will be working with volunteers as well as at the
various literacy centers.
