Small Group Reading: a 🧵 I’ve done leveled guided reading, skills groups and now I don’t do either. Regardless of group type most only widen the gap for Ss. Teachers are trying to differentiate to death. Start with tier 1 for all. 1/8 #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading
I have 1 hour for foundational reading for ALL which includes PA, encoding, decoding, fluency, HFW, & connected text. I can scaffold needs for Ss above and below level as needed. Nobody is bored, nobody is being hurt by this instruction. 2/8
I see 1 group each day for Ss below level based on screening, monitoring, & diagnostic data. Last yr I started with 2 tier 2 groups. One group caught up & was able to move out of intervention quick. By EOY all Ss but 1 met grade level benchmarks. All students exceeded growth. 3/8

An interesting (& common) question from a teacher on our Reading for Life Course:
"When teaching grade 3 and have a student arrive in your class at the start of the year wearing coloured lenses, and they have been wearing them for at least a period of 6-12 months,

I wonder how to tackle this with the parents because they have obviously sought help and this has been provided to them as the solution by 'the experts'.
By the time a student reaches grade 3 and they're behind in reading, writing and spelling, how far behind do they need to be to be considered dyslexic? Or are they just slower to make progress?"
