Does the thought of running small reading groups just fill you with overwhelm?

I know it used to for me.  Here are some tips and thoughts for you.  

• Make sure you have an established area in the room to run your guided reading groups.
  • There are lots of things that you will need to have ready, and they need to be stored within reach.
• When you are teaching in a small group situation it is important to make sure the rest of the class is not going to disturb you or need your attention.
  •  The key to getting kids engaged and focused on a recurring activity is to TRAIN THEM.  
• Start slowly
  • teach only one or two new routines a day.
• Some of the best teachers I have ever seen or worked with can get their whole class working on different things at their own level with little intervention from the teacher.
  • How do they do this????  ROUTINE ROUTINE ROUTINE
• We talk about needing a routine for our class and our kids – what about for the teacher.
