EPISODE 18

This one is a listener request! Thank you for your suggestion Emily!

If you’re an elementary school teacher, you’ve likely experienced having a class with students who are on all different reading levels. This makes it really challenging to create a guided reading scheduling. Have you ever tried incorporating reading conferences to fill the gaps?

I first discovered the magic of reading conferences while teaching second grade and never looked back. With short and effective reading conferences, you can get to the objective of a lesson way quicker than in a traditional reading group. The best part is that it’s a great time to get to know your students on a more personal level.

In this episode I share:

• What a reading conference is and why they are so beneficial
• A simple reading conference framework that you can use for all of your students
• How to know when you no longer need to listen to your students read aloud and what to work on instead
• The appropriate length of a reading conference
