  5. Guided Reading Reminders from Hall County Schools: • Guided reading groups should be small - no more than 4 struggling readers or 6 average readers. • Students should read on their own - no round robin reading! • Students should read several books a week during small group guided reading. Resist the urge to "basalize" a book by spending all week on one book. The exception to this is with higher readers who are reading chapter books or longer nonfiction books. • Guided reading groups should be flexible, meaning students can easily move from one group to another as they progress. • Teachers may also pull "needs-based" guided reading groups of students who have specific reading needs. For instance, students who have difficulty with test-like passages might meet periodically for a few weeks to discuss test-taking strategies, or another group of students having difficulty moving into chapter books might meet to learn how to manage reading these longer texts. The goal of small group guided reading is "to enable students to become independent readers who comprehend and analyze, problem-solve and self monitor as they read, and choose to read for pleasure and information".  (Routman, 2000)

  6. What does Guided Reading Look Like?

  7. Comprehensive Literacy is: • Instruction Responsibility Differentiated Support will happen here! Your help is needed!!! Today we will focus on

  8. What is a Literacy Work Station? • A literacy workstation is an area within the classroom where students work alone or interact with one another, using instructional materials to explore and expand their literacy • ~ Debbie Diller, 2003

  9. Workstations…Centers…What’s the difference anyway? Diller, 2003

  10. How do I decide what to include in my workstations?

  11. Principles for Teaching with Literacy Work Stations • Focus on practice and purpose • Link to what you’re teaching • Balance process and product • Less is more. Don’t put out too much at once!! • Simplify

  12. 2 Success= Teaching the students how to use the center from start to finish!

  13. Model, Model, Model…. Model with Mini Lessons • Short, Focused Mini Lessons can take place in a whole group or small group setting • Model explicitly how to use each workstation: Think about getting it out, using it, and putting it away. • Inspection sheets/ Anchor Charts work great!! • Teach1 or 2 centers at a time!!!

  14. Guided Practice Let two kids practice the center while the other kids watch, ‘fishbowl’ style.

  15. Create an “I Can” List Create “I Can” Lists ‘I Can’ lists create student ownership of the acceptable behavior at each literacy work station.

  16. Problem Solve Solutions • Think about possible problems before they happen • Discuss with students ways to solve those problems • Ask 3 before me! • Rock, Paper, Scissors works like a charm!

  17. Use Hand Signals Teach your students hand signals for : • Restroom • Drink • Etc.

  18. Parking Lots… Incident Reports Ask students to “park” their problems on the parking lot Parking Lot Act of writing diffuses many problems, and reduces interruptions!

  19. Workstation Examples Classroom Library Writing/ Word Wall Big Book/ Browsing Box Pocket Chart

  20. Workstation Examples Cont… Drama/ Theater Station ABC/ Alphabox Station Buddy Reading
