Beginning today, small groups will begin book groups. With teacher direction, groups will complete readings, discussion and writing about a chapter book. The books we will be reading are shown below. One group will not begin a book group for about two weeks, until the other four groups are finished. This first round of book groups is very teacher directed. After this initial round, book groups will shift to more student led, with the teacher participating as a group member rather than a leader. Book groups accomplish a lot! (see post about why we do read aloud) Beyond read aloud, each individual has the opportunity to read the book independently and then interact with peers through discussion. When the book group is finished, groups will also decide on a way to share with book with classmates.
