In this video, we kick off a series on creating a structured, efficient routine for your literacy block. As many teachers struggle to fit all elements of language arts into their schedules, this video offers practical tips for establishing a consistent and adaptable framework that builds student confidence and helps teachers stay organized.

We’ll walk through setting up a weekly schedule, dividing time between spelling, vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and writing. The goal is to create a structure that allows teachers to “plug and play” lessons without feeling overwhelmed. By focusing on relationship-building and diagnostic assessments early in the year, you’ll gather insights that will guide your instruction while helping students feel more comfortable and engaged.

With flexible approaches for both 100-minute and 80-minute blocks, this video provides strategies that suit different classroom needs, helping you build a language arts routine that’s repeatable, manageable, and supports meaningful learning.
