Reading Small Group Planner Template

Two Planners for two different types of small groups for your readers!

Strategy Group:

• Focusing on a strategy or skill your readers need. Usually something taught in a mini lesson that they need more support with transferring to their independent reading. 

• A little bit a teaching and A LOT of coaching for transfer as they all read their own independent books.

Shared Text Group:

• Focusing on the power of a shared text for guided practice and deeper comprehension. 

• Choose a focus and a shared text for your kids to practice what they need most. Leverage teaching strategies, coaching while they read independently, and discussion as a way to lift the level of reading and thinking. 

1.  If your students need more phonics review and practice, you can choose to spend more time on phonics work like word building. You can end it with some time to transfer that work into a connected text.

2. If your students need more time transferring their phonics knowledge to texts, then you can spend more of your time reading a decodable book.
