Now Debbie turns her attention to the groups themselves and the teacher's role in small-group instruction. Making the Most of Small Groups grapples with difficult questions regarding small-group instruction in elementary classrooms such as: - How do I find the time?
- How can I be more organized?
- How do I form groups?
- How can I differentiate to meet the needs of all of my students?
Structured around the five essential reading elements—comprehension, fluency, phonemic awareness, phonics, and vocabulary—the book provides practical tips, sample lessons, lesson plans and templates, suggestions for related literacy work stations, and connections to whole-group instruction. In addition to ideas to use immediately in the classroom, Debbie provides an overview of relevant research and reflection questions for professional conversations. | Average Customer Rating: Great for those who want to do centers I love Debbie Diller's focus on kids working in pairs. I used her system for one year and the kids seemed to enjoy it and I thought it went very smoothly. The only thing that I did not like about it was that it is a lot of work and upkeep every week. If you are looking for something with a little less upkeep and "busy work" try the Daily 5. Great book My school is going to begin Literacy First, and it was suggested that we read this book. I am looking forward to adding this to my classroom. Making the Most of Small groups As my school is preparing to go to all day K as well as eliminate early/late I found myself turning to the books for ideas as to how to utilize my time better. I have a K-2 with a partner and 40 kids so time management is important. This book is practical and easy to read. I will be using several ideas this year! Annette in California WONDERFUL! This book is wonderful for new teachers or experienced. I will definitely read her other books! It contains information on how to teach the main components of literacy (phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, etc.) and even has lesson plans too. Great Gift for new teacher Such a great resource I always buy it as a gift for my student teachers - both books make a valuable investment - in th elives of their future students!!! | |
