Reading Group Time

Reading groups are an integral part of our reading program here at Gilbert Park.  Students are divided into groups by their reading levels and receive small group reading instruction.  All the groups work on the same reading skill while using different books at their level!  While the reading groups are going on, the students who are not meeting are quietly working on their reading skills by silently reading.  These students are also given a reading task to work on.  A big thank you to Ms. Chin for being in this class and teaching the RED group and Mr. Kertay for teaching the YELLOW group.  I instruct the BLUE and GREEN group and the ORANGE group runs themselves.  Ms. Chin's group just finished reading The Littles and are moving into Forces and Motion.  Mr.  Kertay's group just finished Frog and Toad and are now reviewing the Viking text we read in class.  My groups are reading The Thief Lord and the ORANGE group is reading Savvy.
