Upcoming Small Group Instruction...My Students Know! #Retired Teacher Reminiscing

 In addition to choosing the books they will read during independent reading time, students in my class were asked to sign up for small groups that would help them to grow as readers. When students are asked to think about what they need to help them tackle more complex texts, they can seek the help they need and work at it.  The topics or minilesson targets are developed with students and are changed based on their needs.
