This week we meet with Elisa (literacy guru working with the literacy cohort this year) to discuss our assessment binders and watch another lesson. I'm excited to see what her strategy groups look like, guided reading, and whole group as well. I recently met with my LC at school, and discussed my progress with an assessment binder for reading/writing. Turns out, my binder is going well, I'm conferring and having lots of guided reading, but I'm not doing much with strategy groups as I planned. I realized that I'm finding more strategies to focus on within my guided reading groups, rather than finding them during conferring. I've realized that regardless of reading ability, all of the students in my guided reading groups need to either review or practice certain strategies.
Are any of you doing full-blown strategy groups for literacy, as well as conferring, AND guided reading? I'm finding it very difficult to find a balance, especially since I lose 13 kids during my literacy block for a half hour for ESL/Title. Thoughts?
