As an intensive reading teacher, I am tasked with the responsibility of working with my students individually to help them strengthen weak reading comprehension skills.
Studies have proven that the more individualized instruction a student receives, the more that student improves.
Hence, guided reading centers…
A frightening prospect for someone who likes a routine and concrete order.
Today will be my first day training my students, although, in reality, I’ve been training them to work on group activities so I can spend quality time with individual students.
I present to you my whiteboard…busy as it is…with the agenda for the day…
I’ll provide whole group instruction with paired partner practice work.
Then, the big moment, when we start passing baskets of activities.
It’s going to take some getting used to, and the timing will be challenging at first.
I’m confident, though, that with the assistance of my friend (who happens to be the school’s literacy coach) as well as the other more experienced reading teachers, I’ll do much better than had I would have had I been left to my own devices.
Please say a prayer for me and my students.
