     The benefits of exposing students to all genres of literature as well as providing them with numerous text experiences every day are well documented through research.  In our already busy schedules, how do you provide students with multiple opportunity for reading during the day?  How is silent, independent, self-selected reading used in your classroom?  (Are these experiences a part of your whole group instruction? Small group instruction? Intervention time?)

      Chapter 2 addresses better organizing our classrooms for efficiency...
    *What have you done to better organize your classroom or small group area this semester? 
    *Do you have a "unique" idea that works well?
    *Is there a resource that helps you stay organized?
    *What have you learned from this chapter (or through our discussions) that might improve your organization and efficiency?

     What do the other students do while you are working with a small group?

       As we implement our school-wide Intervention/Enrichment time, we must organize and group students effectively (along with other things) in order to achieve growth.  How are you grouping students during this time?   What have been some "successes" in your classroom? What are the "challenges" you're still trying to change and improve?
