I've received a lot of emails about how I organize my guided reading groups.
Here are a few tips that I have for you!
This is my {FAVORITE} guided reading tool ever (I got it from a workshop at my school).
This little folder organizes my students by level. 1st graders are ever-so-changing and always moving up so fast in reading groups. All you need is a folder, paper, velcro, and a little lamination!

| I take a running record of each student once a week. I keep it in this binder. |

 |
| Each student has a tab in the Guided Reading binder. I also keep anecdotal notes in there that I observed during the groups' reading time. |
For a copy of the running record sheet, click {here}.
 |
| These are my books for the day/week. Each group is separated into colors. The students know what color of group they are in. |

| When we are done with the book (we keep if for 2 days- one for the intro and one for the re-read the next day), I put their books in their "Reading Group Baskets" so that they can read a book on their level during monitored independent reading time (or DEAR as some of you call it). |

I also have something that I've been meaning to post for a while, but keep forgetting. This was given to me by a teacher on my team who is pretty much amazing (yes you, Jessica) and I think it's a super cute idea. It's called a "Personal Report Card" and the kiddos fill it out about themselves and I give it to the parents during parent teacher conferences. The parents really like it and I think that's why I like it. It's kind of silly and the kiddos really don't answer very accurately, but I still use it and think it's GREAT!
