I find this to be very user friendly and it helps me plan intentionally for my students.]]> 2018-01-16 15:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/221730013 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/221747360 All of my groups are small groups and I do guide all of my students. The new Read Well program that I use with 3rd and 4th graders have really helped my students be excited and eager to read. The stories are funny and capture their attention. It also builds on what we have read about in previous units.]]> 2018-01-16 15:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/221747360 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/222666753 I find it easier to locate interesting books for my on grade level and above grade level groups.  Sometimes it is a challenge to find interesting books for my lower level group.  This is the area that I need the most help with.

Sometimes I spend too much time reading the text and discussing and run out of time to complete a mini lesson. I feel rushed to complete the four groups I have so I am looking at trying another schedule to better my guided group time. ]]> 2018-01-20 15:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223019552 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223019869 I thought the chart that list instructional focus for each group was great. It will help to keep the chart handy when planning to make the process easier for me and meaningful for my students.]]> 2018-01-20 15:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223019869 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223020111 I need access to quality books for my students that are on the lower levels. It is hard to find four copies of the same book.

That way, I will be more aware of the students' level of understanding and will have a "road map" of skills they need. ]]> 2018-01-22 03:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223185920 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223186849 New ideas/philosophy on effectively teaching reading...I found the research about fluency very intriguing--specifically the statement, "The way reading fluency has been measured has influenced practice and in some places had a devastating effect on reading itself." ]]> 2018-01-22 03:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223186849 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223187479 As a former English/Language Arts teacher, I need to stay more up-to-date with the research on reading and evidence-based reading strategies. The interactive read-aloud was my favorite part of the 4 block model we followed when I taught Language Arts. Now I love to read aloud books tied to the subject of my guidance lessons. Any ideas about how I can further support the reading instruction the students receive in the classroom?]]> 2018-01-22 03:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223187479 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223454901 I would love to start meeting with all my groups, create a schedule, and target some of lacking items through new data. I do at times feel rushed with whole group, portfolio items, and other "stuff" we have to do. I want to manage better. ]]> 2018-01-22 17:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223454901 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223456290 I love how the chart shows how readers are at certain levels and ideas of what other students can be doing, while you are able to meet. So, I am going to try to implement ideas from the charts and suggested material..and see how that helps with guided reading. ]]> 2018-01-22 17:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223456290 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223462857 I need help with what books and materials they should be reading. It is hard to find multiple copies of books, not sure if read works would be good. I just want this time to be fun and educational for my students. I want them to be excited about guided reading. :)]]> 2018-01-22 17:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223462857 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223562520 I will be utilizing shared resource: Warsaw Community Schools.

If done correctly, that conversation needs to be taking place every day. I plan to work on the "lively discussion" aspect of our meeting times so students are actively involved with the text.]]> 2018-01-22 21:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223564629 sandrapruette https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223565786 I feel that I spend too much time in whole group.  When I receive my new data I will regroup, reevaluate and plan for a shorter time for whole group. I also want students to include more writing in their ELA timeframe.]]> 2018-01-22 21:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223565786 sandrapruette https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223566045 I will select a variety of texts for the different levels and skills for new groups.  For now, I am planning to use ReadWorks and novels.]]> 2018-01-22 21:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223566045 sandrapruette https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223566363 I want students to have ownership of their learning in their guided reading time.  I possibly will need help to acquire texts for groups.]]> 2018-01-22 21:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223566363 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223573083 I will be using the Reading Level Conversion Chart and the Warsaw Lesson Plan Bank resources that were shared. ]]> 2018-01-22 21:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223573083 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223576598 I find that I make the planning for guided reading more complicated than it needs to be. I want to find a helpful template or use the site that Mrs. Compton gave us that had ready-made lessons to use. I want to have more focus during this time and have children have more ownership of how this time flows.]]> 2018-01-22 21:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223576598 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223584540 Reading group dynamics.

I also really liked the Pause and Ponder . I really need to reflect at the end of the day about what has been taught that the students can use to use in different text. I also am going to be more aware of what the student "does at a difficulty or the end of an error". I guess what I will implement is also using somewhat more difficult text to challenge the students. Last year I had book boxes at each table with all varieties of reading that the students could choose from when work was complete and I would like to get this started again this year]]> 2018-01-23 04:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223633210 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223634017 I ned help with finding maybe more interesting books for my boys. I want all the students to get excited about picking out books. My goal is for them to enjoy books so that they will become life long readers!  I still talk with many of my former students and they still remember some of the books that we read!  Also I probably need to include more writing to go along with the text we are working on.]]> 2018-01-23 04:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223634017 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223747945 Looking at data for Mclass to determine what individual skills to teach during groups.  I would like to focus more of my time in reading groups to this.  Also I would like to look at the amount of time spent with a text in a group.]]> 2018-01-23 13:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223747945 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/223809705 I plan to spend a little less time with whole group and more time with individuals during small group guided reading time.

This way I know I will challenge them enough to step up to the next level when assessment time comes. The Warsaw link will be helpful too when using classroom library texts to 'level' instruction and to use for lesson plan ideas.]]> 2018-01-24 01:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/224063546 https://padlet.com/kcompton1/rja5pzx9to38/wish/224066321 I need multiple copies of lower level books for my EC/struggling readers.
