Group vs. independent work

by Joy

If meeting with a guided reading group happens while the rest of the class is working on writing or reading to self, do the students in your group miss the independent component?

I just read the book and that was one of my questions. Maybe make one of the 5 only 15 minutes,for instance the Read to Self ?

I divide my students into 4 groups and see all of them for 15-20 minutes each day. The 3 groups that aren't meeting with me are working independently; they only miss one of the stations while I'm teaching the guided reading group.

I try not to pick the same kids during the same time each time.

For example, if group A misses "Read to Self" on Monday - I'd have them come to me during "Word Work" on Wednesday.

I do my best to stir it up so they aren't missing the same thing all the time.
