Guided Reading
My teacher does something I think is really helpful during her guided reading groups. She uses the normal level books for her kids, but she also has paper books that the students get to read and then take home. With each book, there is a signature list that the parents sign to let her know the student read the book. It includes the parents in the students learning, but it also allows for the students to take responsibility for their progress. They also love coming back and telling us about how they read it all alone.

I think that is a spectacular idea! Seeing kids come running in from the night before and they tell you about how they read all by themselves and then proceed to prove their point and read it to you is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteYour cooperating teacher also has a really good idea with the paper copies from that guided reading group. A lot of students just go home and not even open their backpack. But having that incentive of having to get their parents signature is a much better way of knowing that those students are practicing reading and continuing to become more fluent in reading!
