Looking For A Small Group Reading Practice Based On Skill Rather Than Level?
Why This Course?
This online course is for you if:
- you're looking for a way of teaching students in small groups that's based on skills and needs rather than reading 'levels'.
- you’re searching for a flexible grouping strategy that enables more effective differentiation in your reading classroom.
- you’ve heard about strategy groups, but aren't quite sure how they work.
In this one-hour mini-course I team up with fellow literacy consultant Mardi Gorman to explore the small group instructional practice of Strategy Groups in the reading classroom. We tell you why strategy groups are an effective option for small group instruction and explain how to implement these in your classroom. We break down a strategy groups lesson and show you a video of this practice in action.
