Guided Reading and Reading Motivation by Julia Haley https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo en-us 2017-10-06 13:46:39 UTC 2017-10-06 18:53:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194789038 Should I have read every book that I assign for guided reading?]]> 2017-10-06 17:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194789038 Since all schools need level books, can LCS look at providing schools money or/and borrowing systems between schools https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194793564 Lots of teachers borrow books from other schools. Some teachers even borrow them from the elem. schools. Let me know and I can faciliate ]]> 2017-10-06 17:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194793564 I'm a little confused.... howardje1 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194793755 Is this silent, oral, or both?

Which part?]]> 2017-10-06 17:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194793755 What is the opinion on targeting LOW readers (K-4 grade reading level) vs targeting MID readers (4-8) during guided reading? Example, I spend 20 minutes in my block class dedicated to SSR (Reading Plus - whole group) and guided reading (small group). Is it more effective to have small group with LOW or MID readers? braggce https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194793974 Ideally, you could work it in so that you meet with all of your groups!]]> 2017-10-06 17:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194793974 Will this be okay when we are observed? There has been negative feedback in the past if students are not reading grade level material in our classroom. https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794235 Yikes. Can you email me this one?]]> 2017-10-06 17:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794235 How do you work Guided Reading into the classroom? When and how often do we do it? Is this like doing Literature Circles? Etc. https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794313 It depends. Some people structure their class like this every day. Let's talk!]]> 2017-10-06 17:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794313 Can you give guides on levels https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794373 Sure! Tell me what ya wanna know!]]> 2017-10-06 17:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794373 Large class? https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794441 How does this work in a classroom of 30?]]> 2017-10-06 17:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794441 We really need leveled books in sets in order to do this successfully and on a consistent basis. Is there any way that we could order these for each school? https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794459 Let's talk about this. LOTS of people are asking for this!

]]> 2017-10-06 17:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794459 Leveled reading https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794819 Books are leveled using an algorithm.  The text is run through a computer which counts words in a sentence and letters in a word.  Last I checked "To Kill a Mockingbird", while on a 5th to 6th grade reading level, is not appropriate for 6th grade.   You can't rely on leveled readers.  There are some very high interest  texts that are higher levels but are very accessible even to low level readers.  

Totally true! Scholastic will list both the interest and the reading level for you!]]> 2017-10-06 17:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794819 How can you successfully run a guided reading group when many of the other students struggle with any independent time (SSR/Reading Plus/Activity etc.) if you did stations? https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794854 2017-10-06 17:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194794854 How does Guided Reading benefit significantly above level readers? https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194795632 2017-10-06 17:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194795632 clarkslaughterbd https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194799694 How could this work with a 45 minute class period?]]> 2017-10-06 17:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194799694 So is LCS moving to guided reading and not do lit circles? https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194801486 Small group instruction can occur in a lot of ways! It can definitely occur in both of these. You may have students coming to you for guided reading and using their lit circle books.]]> 2017-10-06 17:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194801486 Graphic Novels https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194814137 I have a class of 15 and half of them just want to read graphic novels. How do I challenge them to read more difficult books instead of the comics and graphic novels?]]> 2017-10-06 18:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194814137 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194814750 Students will eventually choose something other than the comics and graphic novels. Usually those who are choosing the GN and comics are struggling. The GN's and Comics allow the students to read a story and have the "movie in their heads" already started for them. Graphic novels allow students to gain the stamina they need. Eventually they will move on.]]> 2017-10-06 18:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194814750 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194815684 So you would encourage graphic novels for independent reading?]]> 2017-10-06 18:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194815684 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194815946 If I have a student who is struggling, yes. I ]]> 2017-10-06 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194815946 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194815975 If I have a student who is struggling, yes.  I love it when my adv readers bring a graphic novel as well because they inhale the book.  They will eat them all very quickly and then will have to move on when they are out of them.  Does that make sense?  When a kid loves a graphic novel, they sell it to the other students.  My struggling readers will give it a shot.  Next thing you know, they are fighting over the books LOL

]]> 2017-10-06 18:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194815975 I teach 6th grade, and I am usually okay with graphic novels at this level. I know the kids like them and they can be a good stepping-stone for low-level readers to get more confidence and enjoyment. I also am personally a fan of graphic novels and I attended a panel over the summer about incorporating graphic novels into the classroom. https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194816238 2017-10-06 18:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194816238 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194817186 Awesome thanks!]]> 2017-10-06 18:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194817186 https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194819902 Nonfiction is fantastic when we are teaching text features, context clues, etc. There are some kids who LOVE nonfiction. It really depends on your goal for the guided reading. When I do it, I usually mix it up. Some days I use nonfiction to create background knowledge for a fiction piece I am going to give the following day or to fill in when students show they are confused. Unfortunately, LCS is pushing nonfiction because, supposedly, there is a lack of comprehension there. They really just lack the background knowledge to comprehend.]]> 2017-10-06 18:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194819902 Timing https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194821075 How long do you allow the students to free read?]]> 2017-10-06 18:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194821075 Timing https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194821757 I start with 15 minutes. Sometimes the kids beg for longer time. I then say "Well, we really needed to work on something else... but... Ok, we can go for a few more minutes" LOL]]> 2017-10-06 18:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194821757 Please share... https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194823707 ...the BHH reading sheet
Done! On the Google Classroom!]]> 2017-10-06 18:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194823707 Lesson Plan Framing braggce https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194824480 Does Fowler do 20 minutes reading plus AND then 20 minutes of independent reading back to back? Or break up the reading with stations to keep students engaged? 

Also, how would this look in an observation if 40 minutes in a block class are dedicated to independent reading? How does she track 'engagement' (i.e. the students who know how to fake reading)?]]> 2017-10-06 18:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194824480 Homework? https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194827404 What are your thoughts on logging reading from home? Do you require them to read at home or do you give them other homework of some sort?]]> 2017-10-06 18:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/haleyjd/1aze51usbfjo/wish/194827404
