Success with Reading Groups

Speaker:
Miss Esther Wilkison

Subject:
English/Language Arts

Description:
Take it from someone who was always in the slow group, no matter what names you give your reading groups, everyone in the class knows which one is for struggling readers. Fear of labeling the achievement-challenged students keeps some teachers from using groups. Other teachers hold back because of the management challenges related to grouping. But all teachers agree that their students have vastly divergent abilities. Discover new insights in how to avoid the pitfalls and help each child develop skill and confidence in reading.
