Strategy-based grouping allows teachers to work with a small number of students who are reading at different levels but struggle with a common reading strategy. Elementary teachers and/or interventionists will learn how to address the needs of readers through leveled texts and strategy lessons. Learning outcomes: • Explore the benefits of strategy groups • Identify when strategy groups might be used • Identify a reader’s needs through an individual reader conference • Prepare a strategy lesson
Getting Started with Structured Independent Reading
Recommended for: K–8 teachers and instructional coaches Time: Three hours Item #s: In Person: 732823 Virtual: 743500 Participants: Up to 30
Child-Managed Instruction
Daily independent reading is essential to developing literacy skills, but not all types of independent reading will produce the same results. In this session, participants will define what structured independent reading is and isn’t and explore how to create a rich reading environment. Then we’ll work together to unpack each component of structured independent reading, including the learning environment, conferring, and supporting and engaging readers. Learning outcomes: • Define structured independent reading and explain how it differs from other types of individual reading time • Establish a learning environment and procedures that promote independent reading • Support student book selection, reading stamina, and goal-setting • Plan literacy instruction and facilitate student conferences to support individual needs • Provide intentional and purposeful activities to develop engaged, accountable readers
