In reply to Jennifer Brown. Hi Jennifer! You know, you have to do what works for you and your students. I also do Guided Reading with my class. These groups are not my GR groups. I still don't meet with every reading group each day! I meet with 3 groups a day. I have 6. These 4 groups that I posted about are simply a way for me to manage take home reading bags. Jennifer, my Freebielicious friends and I did a Guided Reading book study this past Summer. You should read some of those posts and see if there is anything that will help you out! :-) You can email any of us...any time!!

In reply to Marcia Nicholas. That's when they have Show N Share :-) So each student only has it once a month.

I, too, am the only kinder teacher at my school and we have a very, very limited school library. I love how you organize your take-home books but I don't know what you mean by "1st Wednesday, 2nd Wednesday, 3rd Wednesday, 4th Wednesday". Is that the day they bring back their book(s) or the day you conference with them? Sorry – I gotta know.

WOW! About all I can say is WOW! After 5 years of doing Guided Reading Groups(during center time) and trying to read with each group, each day…this makes SO much sense NOW! I quit doing Guided Reading because it was SO stressful after Thanksgiving. I am going to start it again and only read with one group a day (yes I will level my groups – I know that is different than yours)…I am SO EXCITED because I LOVE to read with my kiddos and work on their language growth and see their confidence grow. Most of my kids are not supported at home with reading. I want to do more than whole group reading (I have NO intervention specialist). Did I mention that I am the only kindergarten teacher – so my support system is limited to blogging with other kindergarten teachers. Thank you for this blog and idea. You have given me NEW HOPE!
