Planning+&+Preparation

==The artifacts on this page show how literacy work stations and guided reading are set up in my classroom. I have selected pictures to show some of the work stations along with the lesson plans for the stations and guided reading groups.==

**This picture shows part of the Book Nook and Poems area. Students may chose these as free centers after they complete their "must do" work first.**

**This picture shows students in the Book Nook area reading big books.**

**These students are in the Listening Center and are listening to the story from our curriculum on CD.**

==I have also included my lesson plans for guided reading and the rotations for literacy work stations. This is one of the favorite parts of the day for the students. During centers students are able to work at their own pace and the material is differenitated to meet the needs of all learners in my class. They are able to work independently at their center with their center group while I call small groups back to the table for guided reading instruction. I am able to work with two reading groups for fifteen minutes each. This is also where I progress monitor students for DIBELS for students who have tested at the intensive level.==
