Do the kids have time for independent reading? Guided reading is the perfect time to have the rest of the class doing ind. rdg. I haven't used it (yet), but there's lots of talk about how effective the Daily 5 is...or some kind of work centers. Has your cooperating teacher ever tried that? Does s/he have time to have a separate writers and readers workshop time?
