You would think I wouldn't be stressing over this after 20 years of teaching, but I am. This is the first year we are departmentalizing and I want to make the very most of my 2 hours and 30 minutes. I have read the research on best practices and thought about what has worked for me in the past and what I would like to try. Here is what I have found -
Read Aloud 15 minutes
Shared Reading 15 minutes
Guided Reading 30 minutes
Independent Reading 30 minutes
Word Work 15 minutes
Shared Writing 15 minutes
Independent Writing 30 minutes
Now, I will just have to see how the special education and English language learners will be serviced to decide when to do these things. When these students are pulled they usually do skills so I want to make certain these students get their independent reading time in.
