Before you can support students with small-group guided reading, you have to have a game plan for what the rest of the class will be doing during this time. In this timely workshop for K-5 teachers, you will learn how to launch efficient and effective literacy stations that build independent readers with targeted and engaging learning. The day starts with strategies for setting expectations, building routines, and creating procedures. Then, by the end of the workshop, you’ll have a day-by-day blueprint for starting this process on the first day of school.
