Wonderful!,

This review is from: What Are the Other Kids Doing While You Teach Small Groups?: The Answer to Every Teacher's Question (Paperback)
I have used this book and the strategies and centers described within in my first grade classroom and find them tremendously beneficial. The children are able to actively take part in the decision making regarding their own learning, and they have a lot of fun. It also allows me to get individual testing and small group reinforcement of skills taught, as well as book club (reading groups!) I have even presented workshops for other educators using this book as a resource, and recommend it to all of the participants. The ideas, the blackline masters, even the sensible ways to keep track of work done (primarily logs and reading tickets that the children are responsible for!) are wonderful. A suggestion for anyone who purchases this book: give yourself some time to read through, digest, plan, and put together the ideas in this book before you try to implement them. I purchased it in October of 1999, but I didn't try to fully implement the program until December of 1999. It was worth it!

This review is from: What Are the Other Kids Doing While You Teach Small Groups?: The Answer to Every Teacher's Question (Paperback)
This book is an educators dream! It was such a great resource to me and my other collegues when we were establishing meaningful learning centers in our classrooms. The book contains ideas for grades 1-3. I highly recommend this book to every educator in the primary grades.

This review is from: What Are the Other Kids Doing While You Teach Small Groups?: The Answer to Every Teacher's Question (Paperback)
This book has useful and fun literacy centers. It comes with the reproducibles you need to make them, which is very helpful. It also has sheets for recording to help students be accountable for their center work. It's a good one, and my Mentor teacher agreed, and rushed to get her own after observing my reading group/center time!
