I'm linking up with The Teachers Cauldron for her:
I talked about my traveling reading kit here, but since I'm no longer traveling, I have a different set of tools for 'home'!
First, the most important thing that I use and the kids use...
Post-Its!
We use all different sizes and colors. They help us find information, track out thinking, make notes, etc.
I use the cute, multicolored post-it cube to record my observations on this sheet:
which sits behind the lesson plan for the book:
in my Guided Reading Binder!
which you can read more about here and here.
We also have trackers for the friends that need it (so far, hardly any!)
As well as a whiteboard and Expo markers available for teaching!
This is actually where I store most of my Literacy things...ignore the mess on the bottom! :) |
and Joanne Miller's Reading Response Menus
They are too cute! I actually had the mini file folders (because they were cute!), but she includes a template for you to use! |
(Jivey, Joanne, MissK, and Kelly ) all have wonderful ones that I've used and purchased.
Of course, the most important things to have is the books!
We are lucky enough to have a set that came with our reading series.
But I've also stashed away a few sets of chapter books as well! ;)
What things to you use for Guided Reading?

ReplyDeleteYour lesson plan page is so cute! My kids just think they are in heaven when they get a sticky nite or two to write on. It's too funny to me. Sara
