My last two posts have been about my guided reading approach in kindergarten. This is an example of guided reading emergent readers and response sheets.

Guided Reading in Kindergarten Continued....
I wanted to share a little more today about guided reading in my classroom. I am including a generic lesson plan form that is easy to use, you just change the name of the book you are using, high frequency words and teaching points (based on Common Core standards). I use the Beanie Baby reading strategies. Can Do Kinders blog has a great download you can print out for use in your classroom. There are many out on the web, Pinterest has many boards devoted to Reading Strategies for emergent readers.

Guided Reading in Kindergarten
I have maintained a website Linda's Learning Links for the past 10 years. It will be closed down in September. Guided Reading in Kindergarten has been one of the most popular pages on my website. I've updated the page and turned it into an article. I spend the first month of school teaching the routines of guided reading. As students make progress and are assessed for reading levels, guided reading groups change. In future posts, I will share information sheets that I maintain for each student. I hope you will find the article helpful.

Swat that Fly! Game
I made a trip to Dollar Tree and found these small flyswatters! I bought several, came home and made a game that I'll use in my Guided Reading groups the first few weeks and then place in my literacy work stations. I hope your students will enjoy playing the game.

that many objects.

Wheels on the Bus with Pete the Cat
Pete will be going back to school in style in his newest adventure! Maybe you can help me think of some great activities for this book. I will be creating something for this book asap!
I also found a you tube video!

Pete's Big Lunch
One of my Literacy Workstations is the Retelling Center. Since Pete is a big favorite with my kindergarteners, I decided he's going to star in my Literacy and Math Workstations in August! Here's the first one, I hope you will enjoy it.
I laminate the sheets, cut out the pieces and either put magnets on the back or velcro ( I still have a small flannel board that I use often in my centers).
Common Core Aligned:
K.RL.2
With prompting and support, retell familiar stories, including key details.
Kindergarten Works has some fabulous retelling centers, with lots of how to's on setting up a retelling center!
