Guided Groups and Strategy Groups
I have been really trying to work with my students by pulling them for strategy groups. I feel as though it still is falling into more of a guided reading group. The students that I am pulling at a certain reading level tend to need the same strategies. I have broken them down in a fluency group, story elements group, problem/solution group, sequencing group, and a literature circle for my high students. I have then been pulling activities at their levels that are based on these skills that we are working on. I am not sure about what I am doing or if others have any ideas about this. I feel right now that I am working in small groups and trying to meet their needs the best that I can.

Laura, I have fallen in to the same boat. I find that I am able to do the same things in guided reading, as I am strategy groups. And in fact, I also meet with more students consistently when I do guided reading groups rather than alot more conferring and strategy groups. I figure-- as long as we are doing what students need, then we're doing our job!
