Learning outcomes: • Identify students’ strengths and needs • Describe the purpose behind guided reading, book clubs, and strategy groups and which student need each might address • Explain the role that leveled texts, decodable texts, and choice texts play in instruction • Use knowledge of texts and small-group instructional models to plan a student- centered small-group lesson sequence
