There are 20 students and 1 teacher in the classroom.

Students who are not on level are pulled out daily for a 30 minute small group session with the Reading Teacher. During this time, they work on the skills they need to master in their IRLA Level, Independent Reading Level Assessment.

CCLS are taught in the classroom through Engage NY math modules, but not ELA. They utilize a pacing guide to ensure all ELA standards are met throughout the year.

120 minutes devoted to ELA are broken into 30 minutes of independent reading, 30 minutes of skill building (this is where students go to the Reading Teacher), 30 minutes of Tier 1 CCLS, and 30 minutes of writing.

Each Friday morning when we visit, students record their steps. We asked our teacher about this, and she said it was totals of the amount of time read. All students are given minutes from the classroom reading that occurs each day, which the teacher signs for. Then they record their reading at home, which a parent signs for.

Here is a collaborative class poster in which students contributed rules to ensure a successful independent reading time.

The IRLA program is what the classroom uses for reading, whereas Collaborative Classroom is used for writing. Once a week, "IReady" tests are utilized in support of ELA.

"IReady" testing on the computer calculates a numeric score for both ELA and math tasks. The teacher can use this information to place students in groups of similar ability. The IRLA program also tracks the reading progress of learners.

IReady is a useful tool in tracking reader progress. Students participate in interactive read-alouds and "Reader's Theaters." Anchor charts and writing notebooks are also frequently used. The class participates in "Accountable Talk," in which students are given a small assignment before independent reading and then students share their findings. They then participate in a "Think-Pair-Share" to let everyone know what they learned.

An IRLA assessment is used. Unfortunately we did not get an example.

The classroom houses a permanent collection of fiction and series books for the readers. Below are bins with these genres and series like "Nate the Great," "Junie B. Jones," and "The American Girl Series."

Language isn't exclusive to the classroom, the program tries to keep language consistent throughout grade levels. An example of a common ELA term used is "chunking," where students find smaller words within larger words to help them in the decoding process.

Students select books from a bin that is the color of their reading level. Each Friday, students return their books to the baskets. Then, they take turns returning the baskets to the hallway and new texts are rotated in. This rotation entails about 60 books a week!

The teacher provides a permanent collection of non-fiction books to the classroom as well. Below are the non-fiction books.
