Meeting ALL Students' Needs in Reading: Small Group Instruction and Conferences

Do you have beginning AND advanced readers in your classroom? Are you looking for ways to meet all these readers’ needs? In this class, teachers will explore using small-group instruction to meet all students’ needs in reading. We will explore different instructional models including guided reading and strategy groups. Teachers will experiment with using a variety of data sources to create and change groups. We will also answer the question which is always on teachers’ minds: “What are the rest of the students’ doing?” Teachers will leave this class more equipped to meet a wide variety of students’ needs in reading instruction.
