What are the differences between conferring and Strategy group?

One- on-One

Strategy Groups

Questions to ask yourself about each student:1.What is his/her reading level, according to

DRA or Running Record?2.What strategies does he/she need to deepen

his/her knowledge of reading?3.How can I group this student with other

students with similar needs?4.How can I develop goals for my strategy

groups?Goal: Plan one week of lesson plans for one

strategy group

.

Instructional Planning for Strategy Groups

Students are more motivated and independent:

When they have more book choices

When teachers give them opportunities

When teachers give them choices of what they read

I Pick “Good Fit Books”

Mini-lesson Guidelines

Length – What is the length of a mini-lesson?

Modeling - How will this look? Guided Practice - What is this and why is this

important? Continuity of lessons - How do you plan for

this? 80-20 Rule: What is this?

Take a minute to reflect on your teaching or lesson plans. Do the length of your whole-class and small-group lessons match the age of your students?

What ideas for brain and body breaks might you integrate into your classroom routines to shorten your lessons?

Timing of Mini Lessons

The StructureWhy 7-10 minutes? Brain Research shows the # of their age is the # of minutes a child can sustain higher level thinking.

This means 7-10 minutes of direct instruction
