We all know just how important small group reading lessons are in upper elementary, but the reality of it is we don’t always have time to plan and find the materials we need.

This resource also includes a teacher guide to explain how to get the most out of your strategy group instruction! If you're new to strategy groups (or small group instruction in general) this 2-page pdf is like a mini-professional development that you can read to learn all about strategy groups!

If you would like to see the specific objectives covered for each lesson set, be sure to check out the individual previews or product descriptions. I do break down the lesson titles so you know exactly what is covered in each lesson. 

LET'S BREAK DOWN EACH LESSON ELEMENT:

For each lesson set included in this year-long bundle, you’ll get the same elements listed below. So you’ll get 40 of the following elements. 

• Scripted Teacher Lesson Plan - The small group lesson plans provide you with the exact language you need to say to make sure your students are mastering the objective for the lesson. It also provides you with a really easy-to-implement lesson framework that works great for small group lessons.
• Strategy Card - Each lesson also comes with a strategy card (like a mini anchor chart). This strategy card works great as a visual support during your lesson and students can take it with them at the end of the lesson.
• Student Passage - Each passage is short (less than one full page) so it can quickly be read during a small group lesson.  It is also written in a way that makes it really easy for the students to practice and apply the focus skill. You won't have to worry if the text you give your students will work for the lesson objective.
• Response Page - If you want to extend your lesson or give your students an extension assignment, you can give them the response page which includes a graphic organizer focused on the lesson objective and three comprehension questions.
• Digital Version - There is also a digital version created using Google Slides so this resource will work during both face-to-face and virtual instruction.
• Answer Key - An answer key with possible answers is included to make checking student work easy.

With 49 lesson sets included, you’ll have more than enough resources to get you through your small group lessons for your entire unit on nonfiction!

Just think of all the time you’ll save not having to search for or plan out your small group lessons!
