In my school, it's all hands on deck to make sure that all kindergarteners and first graders receive guided reading instruction each day. Title I teachers, ESL teachers, and instructional aides all provide daily GR. The classroom teacher provides the plans for the aides. The groups are flexible depending on students needs. I am a Title I teacher and teach 3 K groups and 2 1st grade groups daily. It's wonderful to see their progress! And yes! I am a Jan groupie:)

Wasn't she wonderful!? Another important takeaway I left with is that Jan always asks herself two questions at the end of each gr lesson:
1. What did my students learn today?
2. What do they need to learn next?
It's sometimes difficult to stop in the midst of the chaos to reflect, but I agree with her that this is a crucial step in getting the most out of each lesson and "harnessing the power of guided reading." 🙂

I just checked out her website, and I really like the lesson plan formats. I had not read about her before, but I do my guided reading in a similar way, although when my group ends, I often remember things that I should have done! I think they will help me remember all of the different components for all of the different groups!

Thanks again!

I had 20 kinders last year with my top two groups having 6 each. Then the next two groups had 4 each. It was not my ideal, but with their levels and wanting to see each group daily I made it work. Teaching the procedures keeps the kinders on their toes and sticking to Jan's format helps you stick to the pacing.

Lauren, I have struggled with this as well! I don't have time in my day to do more than four 20-minute groups. I know that 3-4 is ideal, but this is real life–so I often have 5 in a group. I don't know how Jan would feel about that, but you gotta do what you gotta do! I just try to keep my lower groups as small as possible. Jan also has a ten-minute lesson plan if you had to fit in more than four groups.

I think that kindergarten students all need to be seen each day because your highest group could be on grade level and need the maintaining and support each day to exceed or grow. So, how can this be managed. And if you aren't seeing every group each day then what book do you send home with them the day they didn't have a group?

She realized they were just "busy work" and were not worth keeping up with. I have to admit, I have used my share of file folder games during literacy stations. I agree with her assessment and am glad to get rid of them!
