Joy, I am sure you have considered this, but how about setting up a schedule for partner reading. That way, when your TA is filling in, the kids will already be assigned a partner and will know what is expected of them during their reading time. The TA will be able to observe, assist, and monitor the class, as well as see how well the kids do in this environment...everyone will be on task!
