Guided Reading Cliff Notes

Hey there friends!
Are we at the end of the year!? What? This year has flown by. As I am prepping for next year and the changes going on in my school, I was trying to prepare for a new teacher in our grade level next year. Each year, I try to reflect on what I can do to make my planning easier and my lessons and time more effective. I mean, who says, eh - I have enough time in the day, thanks! :)

I have been using The Next Step in Guided Reading as basically my bible since it was published. The information included is amazing, but refer back to my previous comment - TIME. I never have time to reread it every year like I want to. That means, the book ends up on my shelf, unused and I make things up on a spur of the moment on my feet kind of teaching. I am always ok with that, but I really wanted to be more organized when it came to my guided reading time.





I have been working with words, doing t charts and doing guided writing for years, but it is always fly by the seat of my pants. I wanted to change that. I figured that there are many of you that feel the same way. I need more time. I want to utilize this book, but I don't have the time to dig through the book for the information that I need.
Well, enter superhero Aly!

I have gone through this book so many times, I've lost count.
I want to bring to you Guided Reading Cliff Notes!

My cliff notes range from our non-readers at level A or 1 (depending on if you do DRA or GRL) and go all the way to J/18.  This covers the entire book. I have gone through all the boring reading, and picked out what you need to implement guided reading in your classroom.

I have shared all of the letters that you need to do word work ladders. I have given the words you need for your sound boxes and t charts.  All you need are your guided reading books, magnetic letters and if you want them, word or letter picture sorts and kiddos!

This pack even tells you what you will focus on during guided writing time!!!
