Small Group Instruction

 Today we talked about small group instruction otherwise known as guided reading. We talked about the why and how to introduce a book. This was a review for me particular around background knowledge and prior knowledge. The model below on an approach you can take was good and a nice reminder of what needs to be included. 


I will say that the observation part I will try and work a bit harder on doing more of. One of the forms that can be used for this seems like I could implement it easily enough. I just need to try and remember to do this along with everything else going on. 

I would like to use the rubric with the children on fluency as this seems straight forward and would be a good reflection for them. The children filming themselves is very challenging in the hub and I will try the other app that someone suggested that might be helpful. As I can see the children benefiting from this activity.
