Hi! I hope you're having a great summer! Today I wanted to take a few minutes to answer a couple FAQ about my guided reading bundle/guided reading in general. Click the cover below to check the bundle out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: How do you organize and store all of your guided reading materials?
Answer: I have always organized my non-seasonal materials by skill. This allows me to pull what I am looking for very quickly. I use my Guided Reading Skills List by Level to help me know what to focus on in groups. I keep my seasonal materials in separate monthly tubs. You can get the tub labels HERE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Do the Fountas/Pinnell levels align with Reading A to Z, Lexile, or DRA?
Answer: Yes! You DO NOT have to be using Fountas/Pinnell to use my growing guided reading bundle. My bundle is loaded with developmentally appropriate activities for first graders. Everyone is LOVING it so far! If you use Fountas/Pinnell, Reading A to Z, Reading Recovery, DRA, PM Readers, or Lexile, OR you just do your own thing, my guided reading bundle will work!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: How much time do you spend each day on guided reading groups?
Answer: I spend around 40 minutes on guided reading each day. I meet with my two lowest groups daily; one group during centers and the other during silent reading time. I do have some help by support staff {not a lot!} and they take the other groups. My groups switch quarterly. I do not meet with every group every day. It's a scheduling nightmare. I have a detailed post HERE that tells how I run my groups.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: When will your growing guided reading bundle be finished?
Answer: I have set a deadline for the end of July for this bundle to be completed. This should allow everyone to print and laminate the bundle for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year! I am hoping that it will be finished prior to the end of July but we shall see. I will tell you that it is my primary focus this summer! Currently, I have 6/9 units finished! To see what I have so far, check them out below.
