After attending the summer literacy institute, I decided to create a literacy goal for this year. In overview, my goal is to improve my literacy teaching through the use of an "assessment binder." While I confer with students during reading and writing, I will take notes on student progress. In turn, I will focus on making "strategy groups" based on students' needs, rather than solely grouping kids in guided reading groups based on their DRA levels. I look forward to sharing my assessment binder with you, and collecting any advice you all may have!

How do you see yourself splitting up the time between groups? I will be dividing guided reading by the same method, but I am having trouble deciding the best way to divide up the week. For example, do I pull back students struggling with phonemic awareness first, then oral language, or are you pulling back by even more specific objectives. I am thinking to set up a schedule so I am meeting with the students struggling with oral language for example but make sure I see two groups in the area a day to have a low and high group. Just wondering if you were thinking about something similar? Would love some ideas.
