You’ve set your 15-minute rotation timers, grouped your students, and locked in your schedule. Now... what the heck do you actually DO during those 15 minutes?

Welcome back to Part 2 of our deep dive into the self-contained small group reading block! In this episode of Modifying the Chaos, I am pulling back the curtain on my exact 3-part reading formula: an introductory activity, the book reading, and an instructional activity.

I’m breaking down exactly how I use Unique Learning System (ULS) lessons to target Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 students all at the same table, how to seamlessly integrate fine motor skills, and my exact week-by-week lesson plan layout. Grab your coffee, and let's modify the chaos!
